Information about your KTH Account

Your KTH account is your identity in KTH's central user database. You use the account to access IT and student services, for example Personal menu, e-mail, Canvas, wireless network, KTH Print or Ladok.

A KTH account is automatically created for you after you have been accepted to a program or course. The account consists of a username and password. The password is personal and must be kept secret and thus only known by you.

In our computer systems, we use the same username and password as the KTH account. If you change the password in one place, it is automatically changed in all other systems connected to the account.

Activate account or change password

You activate your KTH account or change your password with Mobile BankID or with an activation code that you receive at KTH. This also applies if you have forgotten your password. To activate your account or change your password remotely, you must have Mobile BankID.

As a new student, you need to activate your KTH account before it can be used.

Besök www.kth.se/activate för att aktivera ditt KTH-konto eller byta lösenord med Mobilt BankID.
Vi rekommenderar att det görs från din telefon då vissa har haft problem med att skanna QR-koden med Mobilt BankID appen.
