Dear Students! Half a Minute. That Is All It Takes to Secure Your Data

Dear Students, your UniLodz account isn't just about email. It is access to files, messages, Teams and data you don't want to put at risk. And today, a single compromised password can be enough to cause real problems. Therefore, for your well-being, as of 1 May 2026, multi-factor authentication (MFA) will be required when logging in to Microsoft 365 services (including email, Teams, OneDrive, USOSWeb, etc.) from international locations. Logging in from Poland the login process remains unchanged – no changes to your daily use of the services. Those who haven't enabled MFA yet should do so sooner.

Enable MFA – multi-factor authentication.

It takes half a minute, and it can protect you from stress, data loss and account takeovers.

Why are we making this change?

In recent months, there has been a significant increase in unauthorised login attempts across the higher education sector, originating from IP addresses outside of Poland. These are most commonly account takeover attempts aimed at:

  • sending phishing and spam,
  • extorting data or funds,
  • gaining access to university resources.
     

MFA is currently the most effective method of protecting your account – even if your password is compromised, an attacker will not gain access without a second element of verification.

What does this mean in practice?

  • When logging in from outside Poland, students will be required to confirm their identity (e.g., via the Microsoft Authenticator app or an SMS code).
  • Logging in from Poland remains the same – with no changes to everyday use of the services.
     

Half a minute now. Peace of mind for a long time. Simply accept the terms and conditions

How do I enable MFA?

  1. .
  2. The next time you try to log in, you'll be asked to choose an authentication method.
  3. Download the Microsoft Authenticator app (Android/iOS) or choose SMS as an additional code.
     

Implementing MFA for logins from abroad will better protect your accounts and 91ÌÒÉ« resources from unauthorised access.

If you have any questions, please contact the IT Centre helpdesk: helpdesk@uni.lodz.pl

Great! Now you can enjoy peace of mind! Your files, passwords and photos are safe!
