Which login details do I use for which systems?

Moving to multi-factor authentication
From 2021 onwards, RMIT is gradually changing the login process for all University systems from requiring RMIT ID and password to requiring RMIT email address, password and MFA. This change will add an extra layer of protection to keep our data and networks more secure.

RMIT email address, password and MFA

The following systems, require RMIT email address, password and MFA:

Microsoft 365 (M365) applications including Outlook Email (RMIT's email platform), Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint and Yammer
myDesktop
Enrolment Online

An easy way to tell is the login screen you see when you access all these systems is the Microsoft Sign in Portal (login.microsoftonline.com).

Microsoft Sign In Portal

RMIT ID and password

All other RMIT systems, currently require RMIT ID and password, including:

Canvas
myTimetable

The login screen for these systems is the RMIT MyApps Portal (myapps.rmit.edu.au) or Central Authentication Service (sso-cas.rmit.edu.au).
