Two-factor authentication

TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION

Starting in May 2024, thanks to improvements in its Neptun system, the University of Sopron is making the 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) available to students and teachers for web access to the Neptun system.

This security setting allows users to add a second layer of security to their accounts, thus strengthening their data protection.

Benefits:

1. Two-step authentication prevents unauthorized people from accessing the system with only a user password
2. Users can increase their data protection

Two-factor authentication consists of two different elements:

1. Entering the user’s name and password (static)
2. 2FA token (dynamic)

The combination of these two elements ensures system login:

If one of the elements is incorrect/missing, the user cannot be authenticated --> Failed login

Two-factor authentication requires a phone or desktop application.

These are free and must be installed before first use.

A detailed description of the registration process is available found HERE.

The two free phone apps are available in the App Store on Android and iOS.
