Two-factor login process
Two-factor login process
The account name, password and the set second factor are required for the login process.
Depending on the application, this is done in the same or a separate browser window.
2. Choice of authentication method
Now select the authentication method.
You can choose between:
- University password + one-time password
University password + Yubikey
This depends on:
- Which second factors you have registered
- Which factors are supported by your device
- If you use applications for employee purposes, the YubiKey is often mandatory as a prerequisite
- Which one you prefer
3. Password
The password is then requested first.
The circular green symbol with the key in the input field is only displayed if you have installed the KeePassXC browser extension.
4. Second factor
The next step depends on whether you have decided in favour of the YubiKey or the OTP method as the second factor.
OTP / one-time password
You will now be asked for the one-time password.
You create this with your respective OTP application. It is time-dependent and is valid for 30 seconds. However, you can also enter an expiring code from your TOTP app as long as it is not too old. A small "tolerance window" offers the possibility to do this.
YubiKey
When the YubiKey is requested, you must now connect the key to the device. Depending on the browser, an additional separate prompt may also be displayed. (Please note the notification window that appears here)
