A Technische Universität Darmstadt account holds coursework, records, and personal data worth protecting with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, Technische Universität Darmstadt also offers security keys and a hardware token. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience. For the strongest protection, Technische Universität Darmstadt also supports hardware security keys.

How to recover your Technische Universität Darmstadt account

If you lose access to your authenticator and Technische Universität Darmstadt gave you backup or recovery codes when you turned on 2FA, sign in with one of them; keep them somewhere safe, away from your phone. Not every service issues codes. If Technische Universität Darmstadt doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Technische Universität Darmstadt's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
