Password

At identity.luc.fi you can retrieve your username and password with your online banking account or the mobile certificate. Select the University of Lapland as your organisation and follow the instructions. The service is available through Finnish online banks or with the mobile certificate.

Strong password

Your password should be difficult to guess but easy for you to remember. This way you do not have to write it down, minimising the possibility for it falling into wrong hands. For example, a strong password could be a combination of words that has no meaning, but is still easy to remember. Moreover, a good password cannot be deduced from your personal information, such as address, date of birth, hobbies or family members.

Password requirements

Your password must be at least eight characters long and contain both uppercase and lowercase letters, at least one number or one special character. Some special characters are not acceptable in some of our information systems and they may cause problems. Scandinavian letters are also not allowed. You should therefore refrain from using at least the following special characters: €, @, §, *, comma, å, ä, ö

Use different passwords

Do not use the same password for the university systems as for any public online services, such as Facebook or public email services.
