How do I activate my user account?
The new user account must be activated before use. During the activation process, the account is enabled, personal usage rules are accepted, and a password is set.
Changing the password with online banking credentials or mobile authentication
Activate your user account primarily using online banking credentials or mobile authentication according to the instructions provided in the Activation and Password Change Using Mobile Certificate and Netbank User ID guide.
If you do not have Finnish online banking credentials or mobile authentication, follow the instructions provided in the Activation and Password Change using Activation Password guide using an activation code or activation slip.
For detailed role-specific instructions on obtaining an activation slip, please refer to the "Forgot Your Password?" page. If you are a student at Metropolia, you can obtain the activation slip from the Student and Applicant Services customer service point. Remember to bring your identification document when collecting the activation slip.
Please note that sending the activation slip by registered secure mail is only possible if you reside outside the Helsinki metropolitan area.
