Two-step verification
-
Two-step verification is an extra security measure when logging into AUAS systems and apps. With the Microsoft Authenticator-app a verification code is sent to your mobile device to complete the login process. Two-step verification provides an additional check that helps ascertain the identity of the person logging in with a greater degree of certainty.
-
You will need two-step verification for example with your mail, Brightspace and all the Microsoft 365-apps.
- You only need to set up two-step verification once. For instructions, go to Two-step verification - Hogeschool van Amsterdam (amsterdamuas.com)
Software
At AUAS, you can use various software for your studies free of charge.
- With Microsoft 365, you have access to the latest version of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, among others. You also get 1 terabyte of storage space in OneDrive and can collaborate online on files with Microsoft Teams. Visit mijnhva.nl/Microsoft365 for more information.
- Through apps.hva.nl, you can use software installed on AUAS computers for free on your own computer. For example PowerBi, Simio and Matlab. Check Studying online: available apps and software - Hogeschool van Amsterdam (amsterdamuas.com) for a complete overview.
- At Studying online: available apps and software - Hogeschool van Amsterdam (amsterdamuas.com), you can find even more apps, software, and other digital tools to support your studies.
