📑 Activation of a Pre-Received App Token (Mail/Pickup)
This process applies if you received an unactivated QR code via mail or in person at the IT Service Desk.
1. Transfer Token Data into the App
- Verify Preparation: Ensure that you have installed a compatible authentication app (e.g., Uni-App or 2FAS) and that the requirements for the 8-digit code length have been followed (see main guide, Step 1).
- Scan: Open your authentication app and use the function to scan the QR code you received.
- The token is now stored in your app, but it does not yet generate a valid code for logging in.
2. Token Activation via the Web Portal
Access the dedicated activation page to fully enable and activate your token:
A. Accept the Terms of Use
- Step 1: Agree to the terms of use on the activation page and click Next.
B. Fill Out the Form
- Step 2: Complete the form that appears as follows:
| Field | Entry | Important Note |
|---|---|---|
| Username | Your university account (e.g., mueller) | Staff or students account |
| Realm | The designation from your letterhead (usually staff- or students-rollout) | Select the correct user group from the dropdown menu. |
| Password + 2FA | Your password followed by the 8-digit app code (one-time password) | No space between the password and the code! |
Example for the password field (8-digit code):YourPassword12345678
- Activate: Click the "weiter" (next) button.
After successful processing, the token is active and can be used immediately for all university 2FA services.
