ICT OfficeWith the Integrated Authentication System, each system listed below will be accessible without requiring individual login operations using a Sophia ICT Account ID and password.
*What is Single Sign-On (SSO)?
Instead of logging in separately to systems like Sophia Mail, Moodle, and Loyola, SSO allows you to access them all with a single login. This eliminates the need to enter your credentials each time, making it more convenient.
*Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Effective August 29, 2025, multi-factor authentication (MFA) has been implemented for logging into the Integrated Authentication System (Single Sign-On/SSO).
MFA enhances security by requiring additional authentication information beyond just an ID and password.
Effective November 17, MFA is required for VPN access.
While the use of MFA for services other than VPN is optional, it is scheduled to become mandatory during the Autumn semester.
To use MFA, you need to install an app on your personal smartphone.
If you do not have a smartphone, please contact the ICT Office.
Please refer to the documents below for details of MFA:
