Activate your HAMK user ID and MFA

Setting up your HAMK user ID

1. Go to id.hamk.fi website.
2. Identify yourself
   • If you do not have a Finnish bank account, you must choose the weak authentication method (choose the second button). Identify yourself using the same email address you gave HAMK when applying. Do not use Suomi.fi or eIDAS e-Identification, even if they appear on the website.
   • If you have a Finnish bank account, strongly authenticate yourself with your online banking ID (top button).
3. Select your username and press continue.
4. Change password.
5. For MFA
   • If you have used the strong authentication, change your MFA mobile number.
     Download the Microsoft Authenticator app to your phone. Add a school or work account and sign in with your username.
   • If you have not used the strong authentication: go to https://aka.ms/mfasetup
