Student instructions: Two-factor authentication to TAKK online services

Save / print pdf instructions.

What does two-factor authentication mean?

Two-factor authentication is one more step when you log in to TAKK online services with your TAKK user account. Instead of using only your email address and password to sign in, you'll also need to prove your identity in another way. For TAKK students, this method is a confirmation code sent to your phone via SMS.

Two-factor authentication protects your account by making it harder to break in. Even if a hacker gains access to your email address and password, they won't be able to log into your account because they don't know the verification code sent by SMS.

When is two-factor authentication enabled?

Two-factor authentication is used when you log in to TAKK's user account from outside the school premises. That is, for example, from home on your computer or phone. An email address and password are still sufficient to log in to TAKK's classrooms and Opintori computers.

Which programs and online services do I need two-step authentication for?

Two-factor authentication is used in all TAKK online services where you log in with TAKK's user ID. These include Moodle, Workseed, M365, Studenta and Tuudo.
