1.1 Signing into Account

1.1.1 Email​

When an account has been created an email sholuld've been sent to the user from Gagnaský – IREI. The email will contain the login name of the user on IREIs cloud storage, ireigogn.hi.is.

1.1.2 Password Setup​

If user has an account at the University of Iceland then he should be able to use the same login credentials for their login as for their university account.

If however the user does not have an account at the University of Iceland then he‘ll be required to read through the instructions, accessible in chapter 1.3. In that chapter the user is guided through instructions on how to setup their password for their account.

1.1.3 First Sign-in (Two Factor Authenticator)​

On the first signing attempt the account needs to be connected to a two-factor authentication through an authentication app on your phone (for example. Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator). In the beginning the user needs to navigate to ireigogn.hi.is and write down their information, either through your login name or email and password. During the first login a window should appear containing the sentence „Setup two-factor authentication“ which requests the user to setup TOTP.

The next step for the user is to setup a two factor authentication. That process can be separated into four steps, which can be followed in the following chapter.

1.1.3.1 Two factor authentication setup​

  1. Press on TOTP (Authenticator app) to start with the two-factor authentication setup

  2. Open the authentication app and select "Scan a QR code". Then, hold your phone up to the QR code on your computer screen, as shown in image below

  3. Open the Authentication app and choose "Scan a QR code".

  4. Next, a number (authentication code) should appear in the app. Enter the number into the "Authentication code" field below the QR code and click the "verify" buton.

  5. For confirmation, you'll be asked for an authentication code again. Enter the code again in the "Authentication code" field and click "submit".

Note! The numbers may have changed since the previous stamping done in step 3, in that case use the newly generated code in the confirmation step (step 5.)
