Some quick howto's

What's the CS account? (not Umu-id)

You have an account, xxxNNyyy where xxx denotes what program you are taking, NN is what academic year you got your account and yyy is based on your name. It holds mail, storage for studies etc. and is used for accessing the department computer labs and servers.

How to I reset/get the password?

You can reset your password at https://webapps.cs.umu.se/password/ by logging in with your Umu-id.

You do not have to know your CS-username to reset your password, it will be shown to you after you've logged in.

Do I need to use MFA (ex. Microsoft Authenticator)

Starting on September 15th 2026, MFA is required on the CS-account for all web-logins
(local computer logins in the computer labs are not affected)

We recommend setting up MFA on your account before this deadline.

If MFA has not been enabled, then on your next login after the deadline you will be forced to enroll MFA before you can proceed to login.
