DESCRIPTION / REASON
To increase security, two-factor authentication (2FA) will be required when logging in to M365 and Azure services with KIT accounts, similar to logging in to SAP and campus management services.

AFFECTED
This necessary change affects all active student accounts at KIT (uxxxx@student.kit.edu). Accounts of staff, visitors and partners were already changed in 2025.
IMPACT
For KIT accounts, it will only be possible to log in to Microsoft M365 and Azure services with a valid token.

NOTE
If you do not yet have a token for your KIT account, you can set one up in the token management section of the SCC self-service portal.
For information on setting up 2FA for your account, see the service description "Passwordless login and two-factor authentication (2FA)".
People who can already successfully log in to the User Portal (UP) or Campus Management with 2FA do not need to do anything else and can use the tokens already set up at my.scc.kit.edu (HW tokens, smartphone tokens, or passkeys).
