If you are not yet registered with the central authentication service of the University of Oldenburg, you will be asked for your user ID (in the form abcd1234), your university password and the second factor (Yubikey or numerical code from the authentication app) on the login page.

Once you have successfully logged in, you will have access to all services connected to the University of Oldenburg's central authentication service without having to enter your login details again.

The first login

The first time you access your email inbox via web access, you will be asked

  • to select the language in which you want to use Outlook on the web and
  • to select your time zone.

You will not receive these prompts if you were already an Outlook on the web user.
