"Multi-factor authentication (MFA)"

HFT Stuttgart is gradually introducing multi-factor authentication (MFA) to increase IT security. This is indispensable from 01.03.2024 to use HFT tools such as Moodle, LSF etc.! This can be set up via SMS code or an authenticator app on the smartphone.
In the university network (in the HFT WLAN) this additional login factor does not apply. However, if you are outside these networks, the additional login factor is required.

MFA must be set up once via the link https://aka.ms/mysecurityinfolink. You must be in the university network to do this! If you have any further questions, please contact the Info and Support Desk.

Optimal start to Bachelor studies!

During the orientation week, (Bachelor) first-year students have the opportunity to get to know the university, the individual institutions, as well as their teachers and other students.
