[For Internal Use - Important] Introduction of Multi-Factor Authentication for E-Journal and Database Access
*Added a note that short-term IDs are not subject to multi-factor authentication (no one-time password required) (2025.12.25).
Starting Thursday, February 19, 2026 (tentative), as part of our security enhancement measures, we will introduce the university's multi-factor authentication (at our university, "two-factor authentication" combining two elements) operated by the Institute for Information Management and Communication for access to electronic journals and databases.
There will be no major changes to the procedure itself, but the login screen flow and input fields will change. This is the same as logging into student email (KUMOI) or faculty/staff email (KUMail).
With the introduction of multi-factor authentication, in addition to your ECS-ID/SPS-ID and password, you will need to enter a "one-time password" generated by your smartphone or an authentication app.
*Access with a short-term ID is not subject to multi-factor authentication (no one-time password is required).
1. Overview of Changes
In addition to conventional ID and password authentication, we will require a second factor (one-time password) for identity verification, thereby improving the security level.
This will reduce the risk of unauthorized use due to leakage of IDs and passwords.
| Before Change (Current) | ECS-ID or SPS-ID + Password |
|---|---|
| After Change (From February 19, 2026 (tentative)) |
1. ECS-ID or SPS-ID + Password 2. One-Time Password (6-digit or 8-digit number) *If you use a short-term ID, a one-time password is not required. |
2. How to Use After Multi-Factor Authentication Introduction
The basic flow of "clicking the bookmarklet to authenticate" remains unchanged.
Connection Procedure
*Please enter the code from an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator, a browser extension, or an email notification.
3. Advance Preparation Required
To use multi-factor authentication, you need to complete the university-wide multi-factor authentication setup in advance.
If you have not yet completed the setup, please refer to the following manual.
