You need an account to log in to the different online environments used in VIVES. You can also manage your account, change your password (or request a new one if you've forgotten your old one).

Practical information

From the moment you activated your account, you get access to a lot of environments used in VIVES, like Toledo, the webmail, KU Loket, ... Protecting your account is very important! You can also manage your account, change your password (or request a new one if you've forgotten your old one).

Important to know: your account remains valid as long as you are enrolled as a student in VIVES. When you unsubscribe or graduate this account will be terminated based on the following scheme:

  • Students who unsubscribe themselves: seven days after unsubscribing, your account will be closed;
  • students who do not re-enrol after the end of the academic year (e.g. after graduation or termination of studies): your account will remain active until October 31st.

Multifactor

With Authenticator we add a second check on access to your devices and data. We combine the first factor ("something you know" such as your password) with a second factor ("something you have or identifies you, such as a smartphone"), which is what we call multifactor authentication. Logging in with KU Leuven Authenticator is safer than with username/password.
