The changes apply to logging in to the following University of Lodz services:
- USOSWEB
- Diploma Theses Archive
- Distance Learning Platform
- Employee Service
- The University of Lodz Library Catalogue
- Recruitment Service of the Career Office of the University of Lodz
- Website of the University of Lodz (TYPO3 system)
After the change, logging in to the above systems will be the same as when you log in to the university email, using the Office365 login page and the double verification mechanism, the so-called, MFA – Multi-factor Authentication (an additional way of confirming it's you via additional application or a text message).
What does it mean?
The login page address remains unchanged – login.uni.lodz.pl.
The appearance of the website will change. The previous Central Login System page will be replaced by the Office 365 login page.
The way of logging in will also change. When logging in to the systems, after entering your ID and the password, you will be asked to show it is really you trying to sign in, i.e. to confirm logging via the mobile application (a recommended form) or a text message.
Support of the IT Centre of the University of Lodz

Sticking to the safety rules
Please remember that when you log in to the university systems, the University of Lodz never asks you to provide additional data for identity verification. All you need is a login, password and the second verification step.
If you have any doubts about logging in to the university systems, you should contact the University of Lodz IT Centre. Please also carefully check the addresses of the websites where you provide your login details.
All online security precautions, including Multi-factor Authentication (MFA), are designed to provide additional protection when logging in. They increase the security of your data and protect against unauthorised access.
