Hogeschool van Amsterdam 2FA Setup Guide

hva.nl Supported

Hogeschool van Amsterdam lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your Hogeschool van Amsterdam account safe even if your password leaks.

A Hogeschool van Amsterdam account holds coursework, records, and personal data worth protecting with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, Hogeschool van Amsterdam also offers phone-call codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience.
