Deployment of Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for UEF users has been done and in the future MFA will be automatically applied to all users using UEF’s Microsoft 365 environment. The deployment concerns both student and staff users. MFA will be also deployed for outside stakeholders accounts. UEF employees should take note of the deployment of MFA if non UEF users are invited to UEF Microsoft 365 groups with other than UEF email address.
If you still haven’t registered MFA it will be automatically applied to your account on 1.11.2022.
Instructions on how to start using MFA can be found on IT Services webpage – uef.fi/en/tipa (new tab).
We recommend using an authenticator app for MFA confirmation. If you have a smart phone, using Microsoft Authenticator to authenticate the login is more safe and user friendly option than a text message. You can find instructions for Authetincator at uef.fi/en/tipa (new tab).
You can modify your MFA settings if needed here: https://aka.ms/mfasetup (new tab).
If you have a user account that has multiple users e.g. to test systems or a shared mailbox, please notify about it as soon as possible to servicedesk@uef.fi. MFA will not be deployed to the notified accounts.

The old service ‘MOT Sanakirjasto’ (i.e. MOT Dictionaries) will completely run down at the end of an ongoing year. You already have the access to its substitute called ‘MOT Kielipalvelu’. This service on the Sanakirja.fi platform includes tools familiar from the old MOT.
In addition to dozens of dictionaries, ‘MOT Kielipalvelu’ contains MOT Translator (translations between 40 languages) as well as MOT Proofing (proofreading and spell checker of English, Finnish, Swedish, German and French). Learn more about the contents of the service.
Students and staff members can request a login link to the service for remote access as follows (video instructions also available):
When you are logged in to your account, the service can be accessed from sanakirja.fi. Within the university network, you can access the service without logging in.
NB! A Teams webinar on using ‘MOT Kielipalvelu’ will be held in November. Please, follow the Yammer group ‘UEF Library’ in order to get more detailed information on webinar.
Available/taken maps for computers now on the As a customer page of the library.
