Changing username i.e. email - verifying email
There are a number of reasons to change your username and email address:
- Your username is a personal ID code (you became an eKool user before March 2008). This is the case for a large number of teachers, and it can also be a problem for parents whose children are starting school and who were eKool users as students.
Attention!
If your eKool username is a personal ID, we strongly recommend that you change it to a working email address. This change is necessary for the introduction of two-factor authentication, which will soon be mandatory when logging in from a new device or browser.
The possibility to log in with an ID card will remain.
If your username is an email address, you can subscribe to password reminders, receive email reminders and use other services.
- The email address to which your user is associated is no longer in use. For example, it is the address of an institution or company where you no longer work; you have forgotten the password to this mailbox (common for students); your mailbox has been closed due to inactivity or misuse.
Attention!
To change your username, you do not need access to the mailbox associated with your current username, only the mailbox associated with your new username.
