Two-factor authentication for Educloud

Before you start, you need an authentication app on your mobile that generates one-time codes. There are many such apps, but we recommend Microsoft Authenticator.

• Download and install Microsoft Authenticator for your mobile phone. Download from the App Store (iPhone) or from Google Play (Android)
• Download and install Google Authenticator for your mobile phone. Download from the App Store (iPhone) or from Google Play (Android)

To access two-factor authentication for signing in to Educloud, you must set up a one-time code generator for your account. This is done by scanning a QR code that you will receive via the self service portal in Educloud.

1. Go to the self service portal (selfservice.educloud.no)
2. Under Your Personal Data, click OTP.
3. Log in with Educloud username, password, and OTP or ID-porten.
   • If you do not have ID-porten but need a new one-time code, contact the project administrator.
4. Click Set new OTP.
5. You will now see a page with a QR code.
6. Open the authentication app on your mobile.
   • If you have not used the app before, tap Get started.
   • If you are already using the authentication app, tap the plus icon (+) in the top right corner to add a new connection/two-factor code.
7. Select Other (Google, Facebook, etc.). Your mobile's camera will now open.
8. Scan the QR code that appears in your browser on your PC.
   • The two-factor code for Educloud will then be added to the bottom of the list in the authentication app (the name may vary).
   • The authentication app generates a new one-time code every 30 seconds.
