Joint Web Login
The Joint Web Login service is used to prevent unauthorized access to the Uppsala University web services.
It enables easier access for users to log onto the web services ensuring access to the all the services without having to log on and off between using the individual services.
Who can use the service?

Uppsala University offers two methods of multi-factor authentication:
- Using your mobile phone. Microsoft Authenticator is the recommended application and will work with all systems and services att Uppsala University.
- Using your web browser. An alternative when there is no mobile phone available. This inferior method is less secure and should only be used as a last resort.
–––––––––––––––––
- Previously, login was offered using a USB stick (YubiKey). The method is being phased out, during a transition period existing USB sticks can be used for certain specific systems.
Note: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) by mobile phone only works for services and systems for which the verification method is enabled. The process may be a requirement or an option depending on the service. You cannot choose where to use the login method. If you are unsure whether multi-factor authentication is appropriate for your needs, please contact itsupport@uu.se.
