IT user account and password

OsloMet has the following guidelines for password and IT accounts:

• Your OsloMet password must be changed every year. You´ll receive a notification about the change in advance by email and SMS. Change the password at tilgang.sikt.no
• Your password is strictly personal and must not be shared with anyone.
• Your password is unique. Do not use your OsloMet-password for other accounts.
• Your password must be at least 16 characters long. Use regular words, space and sentences easy to remember. 
• If your password has been leaked, you should immediately change it and notify IT Service Desk.

Read about password requirements for the user account at tilgang.sikt.no and in the security guidelines for username and password.

When new students and staff are registered, a user account will automatically be created. As a new user, you will receive an email sent to your private email address when your user account is ready.  

The first time you log in, you must confirm your identity by selecting 'Log in with ID-port'. The next step is to go through the security declaration. After this, you can create a password. Follow the instructions you receive. Once you are done, your user account will be activated.
