Leiden University is moving towards a more uniform sign-in experience, using the Miscrosoft sign-in screen (Entra). Recently, this change has been applied to library services such as the catalogue, EZproxy and several databases. To sign in, please use your regular username followed by @vuw.leidenuniv.nl, as shown at the Microsoft sign-in screen. Your password remains just as it was before.

Sign-in issues?

Please make sure to be signing in with the right (university) account. Are you signed in to another Microsoft account on your browser? Click on your account icon in the top right corner, choose 'Sign in with a different account' and follow the steps. For using two accounts simultaneously, separate browsers or private windows are recommended.

Please contact the University's ICT helpdesk (ISSC) in case of any sign-in issues related to the Microsoft procedure. For general questions, the ISSC Helpdesk Portal provides several useful FAQs (sign-in required).
