STUDENT IT SERVICES > LOST PASSWORD RESET

TUPAS service enables forgotten paju -or koivu -user passwords to be changed by identifying yourself with online banking account information. The service requires you to have a Finnish social security number and online banking with either Aktia/Sp/PoP, Osuuspankki, Nordea, Handelsbanken, Sampo Pankki or Tapiola. The service uses an encrypted SSL connection with only your name and encrypted social security number (ie. hash, checksum) being sent. In other words no important identifying personal or banking information is transmitted.

The service is free to the user and banks charge the University a fee.

If you remember your old password, you can change it here.
