The UG is continuously working on improving IT security. One of the concrete measures we have taken in this context is the introduction of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for the entire University. MFA adds an extra layer of security to the login process. After entering your UG account and password, a second authentication step follows via your mobile phone or tablet. In the Google Authenticator app, you will receive a code that is renewed every 30 seconds. Once you enter this code, you will be logged in. This is similar to the procedure for online banking and DigiD.

 

You can register your mobile phone or tablet with Google Authenticator app easily and step-by-step via mfa.rug.nl.
