Activating an Aalto user ID

Every student and employee at Aalto University is provided with an Aalto University user ID. You will receive an invitation email when your digital identity is created. You need to active your digital identity to get the user ID and password. With the user ID, you can log in to Aalto’s information systems and use the internal services of the university. You can activate the user ID either in the Self-service Portal at https://password.aalto.fior by visiting the customer service desk of Aalto University’s IT Services.

You must not make your personal username or password available to others. You are responsible for all use of your username and password. The policy governing the use of Aalto University’s information systems (hereafter the ‘Policy’) applies to all members of the Aalto University community, and it is applied to all information systems, and use thereof, which are in the university’s possession or otherwise at the responsibility of the university.

Activating the user ID in the Self-service Portal

You can activate the user ID in the self-service portal at https://password.aalto.fi. Using the service requires identification with a banking ID or an ID card equipped with a chip issued by the Finnish police.
