Two-factor authentication in Educloud Research

First you need an authenticator app on your mobile device, for generating one-time codes. There are many such apps, but we recommend using Microsoft Authenticator.

• Download and install Microsoft Authenticator on your phone. Download from App Store (iPhone) or from Google Play (Android)
• Download and install Google Authenticator on your phone. Download from App Store (Iphone) or from Play Store (Android)

In order to get the one-time codes for logging in to Educloud Research, you need to set up a connection between the authenticator app and Educloud Research. This is done by scanning a QR code that you get from the latter.

1. Go to research.educloud.no/ via PC or tablet
2. Choose Need a new one-time code? 
3. Log in through ID-porten
4. Select Generate new QR-code. 
5. Open Microsoft Authenticator app on your mobile device
   • If you have not done this before, select Get started
   • If you have already used this authenticator app, click on the plus icon to add a new connection/two-factor code.
6. Choose Scan a QR code. The camera on your phone should now open.
7. Scan the QR-code from your PC/tablet.
   • The two-factor code for Educloud Research will now be added to the bottom of the list in your autenticator app (not necessarily with that exact name).
   • The autenticator app will generate one-time codes every 30 seconds.
