Freja eID+

What is Freja eID+?

Freja eID+ is a free, government approved digital ID card that helps you log in in some system at Umeå University. You can prove your identity in an application on your smartphone instead of showing a physical legitimation card.

Freja eID works as a regular ID card. If you want to use the functions of Freja eID for Umeå University systems, you need to activate Freja eID+. With Freja eID+ you have the highest security level available with Freja eID. It requires a few extra steps in your activation, for example you need to identify yourself in person at an ATG agent (ATG ombud). These can be found in some select petrol stations or supermarkets.

What can I do with Freja eID+ at Umeå University?

• Reset your multi-factor authentication
• Reset your Umu-id password.
• Log onto Protected Documents (Skyddade dokument) as an alternative to multi-factor authentication
• Activate your Umu-id as an external guest (will be available to everyone during 2022)

Previously, you needed help from Servicedesk to implement the listed actions. But now, you can carry out the actions yourself with the use of Freja eID+. This simplifies the process for everyone involved.
