[IMPORTANT] Request for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Setup for keio.jp Login and Change of Deadline
As previously announced, the setup of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) (*1) is becoming mandatory. However, considering the impact on the academic calendar for the 2026 school year, we have decided to move forward the implementation schedule for some groups. The specific dates are as follows:
We apologize for the sudden change and any inconvenience this may cause.
If MFA is not configured, it will affect your ability to access classes and complete academic procedures. Since MFA setup is already available, please cooperate by completing the setup as soon as possible, without waiting for the mandatory deadline.

How to Set Up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Faculty and Students
Please check the following page:
We strongly recommend setting up "SMS/Voice Call Authentication" on your personal smartphone or mobile phone first.
If you have this configured, the need to visit a KIC office for an MFA reset due to device changes, malfunctions, or setup errors will be significantly reduced (a home or office landline can also be used for this). Please register at least one backup method as insurance for emergencies.
After that, please register factors that support "passwordless authentication," such as "Passkeys" or "Okta FastPass." Passwordless authentication is more secure and reliable than traditional password authentication.
