Activate your HAMK user ID and MFA
Activate your HAMK user ID and MFA
When you have registered as a student in the study path or directly for a course of study in the Open University of Applied Sciences, you have been created a HAMK user ID and will receive an email message about the activation of the ID and the introduction of two-step authentication.
You will not be able to activate your ID until you receive the “HAMK ID activation” email from “Identity Services (no reply) [email protected]“.
Once you have received the email, your ID will be ready for activation. Please note that automated messages may end up in your spam folder.
Remember that you must activate your HAMK user ID yourself well before the start of your studies. The user ID cannot be activated without enabling two-factor authentication.
Where and how to use the HAMK user ID
HAMK user ID is [email protected].
Please note that your username will be used to log in to your student email, the Moodle workspace and to access HAMK’s IT services. You will also log in to Google cloud services with your username.
The username is therefore different from your email address, which is [email protected]
Do these two steps to get your HAMK user ID and MFA (multifactor authentication) working
- Activate your username before starting your studies.
Follow the link id.hamk.fi to activate your account.
Please note that if you don´t have finnish bank account you must choose a weak identification and do it with the e-mail address that you gave to HAMK when you applied. Don´t use Suomi.fi -identification even if it´s visible in the webpage.
2. Activate two-step authentication, i.e. mfa (multifactor authentication)
Activate mfa here. You can find more help in the video under.
Please note that if it is less than 28 days since your previous study permit expired, you may not receive a message and your account will continue to be valid as normal.
User IDs will not be sent to you by email, you can find out your ID from the HAMK Authentication Service.
Remember to take your ID down during the activation process.
