Freja+ to log in to REDCap and LUSEC
What is Freja+?
Freja+ is a free, government-approved e-identification with a very high level of security that can be used as a physical ID in the mobile phone.
What does this mean for me as a REDCap user?
If you have a Swedish personal identity number, coordination number or European equivalent, you must log in with Freja+. If for some reason you cannot use Freja+, you can use Google Authenticator. Follow the guide How to configure strong authentication (MFA) for LUSEC or REDCap.
- Download Freja and install it on your mobile phone.
- Create a Freja identity: Register for Freja+ to ensure the right level of security.
- Link your Freja identity to LU Passport, Lund University's account management portal: Passport - Password portal (lu.se). Log in to Passport with your Lucat ID.
- Select Configure strong authentication and then Freja. If you already have Freja+ for LUSEC, you do not need to create a new connection.
How to start using Freja+ as an eID
- Install Freja on your mobile phone. Have your passport or national identity card ready.
- Set up your basic account details: your email and PIN code.
- Verify your identity with a photo and valid ID. Either with your passport or national identity card directly in the app or via ATG agents with a driving licence or similar.

Why a multi-factor authentication (MFA) for REDCap and LUSEC?
Lund University needs to strengthen the protection of several important e-services and platforms. Therefore, a new login method (multi-factor authentication, MFA) will step by step be introduced for LU's digital services that require a higher level of security, Freja+ as eID.
