You can activate your account and set your password before your employment starts and you should also activate two-step verification on your account. Two-step verification means that you confirm your login using the Microsoft Authenticator mobile app when you are off campus.
Two steps that you can perform now:
- Activate your LiU account and set a password via MinIT: minit.liu.se/account After you have finished this step, you need to wait 15 minutes for the account to be set up in LiU's system before proceeding to step 2.
- Set up
two-step verification on your account by following this manual for guidance.
If you go through with this step before getting a work mobile, you can install the app on your personal mobile phone. Once you have your work mobile phone, set up two-step verification on it as well. Important: do not remove the LiU account in Microsoft Authenticator from your personal phone until you have added it to a new device.
Then you are done!
Now you can, for example, check your email and access information on the Liunet intranet.
