Two-factor authentication at KIT

Passwordless login to our websites

Passwordless login to the KIT websites is both particularly secure and particularly convenient thanks to the method used (Passkey, Webauthn). It is the latest enhancement of the established two-factor authentication (2FA).

Personal devices (notebook, cell phone, etc.) are linked to your own account at https://my.scc.kit.edu/token. The device then only needs to be unlocked by fingerprint or facial recognition to log in.

This procedure replaces the entry of the user ID, password and the use of a second factor in a single step. We have tested and support the common browsers on the most popular operating systems.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) for VPN

It is also possible to log in to our websites and VPN service with a user ID, password and a second factor in the form of a one-time code. The easiest way to generate this special code is via a mobile app, and we also continue to support hardware tokens and Yubikey.

Requirements

Both passwordless login and login with a second factor can be used on all websites that use the central single sign-on services of the KIT (Shibboleth, possibly indirectly via bwIDM).
