Accounts & email
Logging in
When you create your first university computing account at IU, you’ll set up your electronic identity, which consists of an IU username and an IU passphrase. In addition to your passphrase, IU requires an additional layer of security with Two-Step Login (Duo) when you log in to almost all technology services at IU. Note: IU Guest accounts do not require Two-Step Login.
