• 1.How can I log into the Information System?

    Enter https://is.muni.cz/ in web browser and click to “Login”. If you want to make sure the connection is secure, check MU Information System certificate. Click the lock icon in your browser's address bar next to the URL (the specific location may vary by browser), which displays detailed information about the security of the page. You log in to the system with entering your user name (use your personal identification number – učo) and password. The faculty administrator of access rights will tell you the učo and password, see

    https://is.muni.cz/ Do you need help? Access rights administrators

    Due to the security of the primary password, you will be redirected to the address islogin.cz (a detailed description of security can be found in the text of the authenticated users Login at islogin.cz).

    The personal identification number remains with you, for example, even if you finish your studies and return to school after a few years.

    Tip: Do you have the IS MU Notification mobile app?

    If the user has set middle or high security level in the IS MU Notification app, the app only requires logging in during the initial pairing with the Information System. After that, verification is performed using the phone's lock method (e.g., facial recognition, fingerprint, PIN, etc.).

  • 2.What does it mean to be an unidentified person? How do I identify?

    Identity authentication is usually required before or soon after a person first accesses the MU Information System and is necessary to obtain a password for fully authenticated access to Information System services.

    Several variants of identity verification are available in the MU Information System. They are all summarised on the page:

    The Information System Verify identity (this link is visible to unidentified persons on the front page of the Information System) Identity Authentication Options

    The identity verification procedures are explained in the following help: Identity verification.

    Tip

    If the applicant enrols for studies in person directly at the faculty, verification is carried out by an official before he/she logs into the IS MU, in which case he/she does not have to verify his/her identity any further.

  • 3.What shall I do to log out of the System?

    To log out of the System, click on the log-out icon situated in the upper right-hand corner.

    Note

    Always log out on computers that other people have access to!

    1 log out of the System

    To log out of the IS MU Notification mobile app, the user must remove the device from the paired devices:

    The Information System Settings (gear icon in the bottom right corner of the page footer) Notification Device
  • 4.What does „log out from other computers too“ mean?
    After clicking on the logout icon, you have the option to select „log out from other computers too“ by checking it.

    Without a check mark, you will only log out on the device you are currently clicking on. When checked, you will be immediately logged out of all devices on which you are currently logged in. If you access the system via a small screen device (typically a mobile phone), the „log out from other computers too“ option is not displayed and the system immediately logs off the user only on the current device. To log out from other computers as well, select:

    The Information system System Log out

    Login in IS MU is always valid for 4 days after the last operation (after the last click). You use the „log out from other computers too“ option when you realize that you forgot to log out on a device to which you no longer have access.

  • 5.What purpose does the primary password serve? How can I change it?
    The primary password is used exclusively for logging into the Information System MU and the MUNI Unified login (Microsoft services or Inet MU) The primary password should not be used for logging into other systems. This also applies to other school sites and e-mail accounts, for which you should use your secondary password.

    The primary password can be changed on the basis of knowledge of this password directly in the IS MU:

    The Information system Settings (gear icon in the bottom right corner of the page footer) Change primary password

    Please make sure that you always take special care of your primary password and do your best to prevent it from any misuse. In this respect, it is important that you not share it with anyone else or send it anywhere in an unencrypted format (e.g. via e-mail, via social media).

    IS administrators never require you to send them your password. If you ever receive such a request or an e-mail asking you to enter your password via a page other than the one belonging to IS (islogin.cz domain), you should never do so, since you have probably become subject to phishing.

    Note

    You should never allow your browser to save your password either. If you do so, anyone working with the computer when you are not around will be able to log into IS under your profile.

    Tip: Higher level of password security in the IS MU

    In the "Change password" application, it is possible in the "Other primary password for other systems" setting to prevent the primary password from being taken over for other systems except the MU IS itself. This option gives users a tool to take more control of their passwords.

    The "Primary password to the IS MU" will then be used only to log in to the IS MU and will not be passed on.

    The "other primary password" will be used in the so-called single login at MU, for example to log in to an e-attendance, the SUPO dormitory payment system, Inet MU or to pre-order lunch in the canteen.

  • 6.What purpose does the secondary password serve? How can I change it?
    The MU secondary password is usually required for other services using IS MU authentication. This password is used wherever you do not log in directly to the IS MU IS (islogin.cz domain) or the MUNI Unified Login (https://id.muni.cz/), e.g. access to IS MU mail using POP/IMAP protocols, etc.
    The Information system Settings (gear icon in the bottom right corner of the page footer) Change secondary password
    Note

    Please make sure that your secondary password is different from the primary one, as the former is sometimes transferred over networks in an unencrypted form, which makes it more vulnerable.

  • 7.I do not know my user name and password. What shall I do?
    The way you can obtain your password depends on your current status:

    • I am studying at (working for) the school.

      Please get in touch with your access rights administrator, who will provide you with a new password. For the list of access rights administrators assigned to individual faculties, please go to:

      https://is.muni.cz/ Do you need help? Access rights administrators

      The password cannot be sent via e-mail because your access rights administrator must verify your identity first. Besides, this way of distributing passwords is insecure and might result in someone misusing your account.

    • I am an alumnus.

      Please make sure that you first create an account with Alumni Web. Using the page at https://is.muni.cz/absolventi/oziveni.pl enter all the required information and click on "Specify programme of studies". If the person the System offers you is really you, click on "This is me and I want to register for Alumni Web" and fill in the registration form. We process all the information you provide us with in compliance with the 101/2000 Sb. Law governing the ways in which personal data should be handled. To be able to access all the IS MU sections, you have to go through a validation process, the instructions for which will be given to you in IS MU.

      If you are already registered in the graduate network, you can obtain a new password using the check question you have set for this case in the IS MU in the application https://is.muni.cz/lide/zapomenute_heslo.pl. If you answer correctly, the system will send you a code for setting a new password to the e-mail address where you have redirected mail from IS MU.

    • I am not an active System user, as I am a former student (or employee).

      You can have your password sent to you by post. To do so, please make an order for it using our Shopping Center.

  • 8.Jak vyplním svůj nouzový kontakt?

    1 Uživatel může v systému vyplnit svůj nouzový kontakt. Doporučujeme tyto údaje udržovat aktuální.

  • 9.When I want to enter IS MU, the System does not ask me for my password and displays someone else's page instead. What shall I do?
    Click on the log-out icon situated in the upper right-hand corner, log out of the System and close all the browser windows. If the problem persists, it means that someone else has saved his/her password in the browser (see What is the way of looking up the password saved in my browser?). We strongly recommend you not to save your passwords in browsers.

  • 10.How to proceed if the browser displays an error when accessing the IS MU?
    Always read carefully the contents of the error message.

    If the error occurs for the first time, repeat after a few minutes to see if the problem persists.

    If the problem persists, follow these steps:

    1. Find out if you have Internet access. Try familiar servers such as https://google.com/, https://seznam.cz/. If they don't work, check your internet connection.
    2. Find out if the unauthenticated IS MU title page https://is.muni.cz/. is displayed. If it does not appear, contact is-technicians (contact e-mail is in the footer of this page). Fill in the following information in the e-mail:
      • What exactly error message does your browser display, or what information does the browser load the page, but the loading does not end within a few minutes.
      • From which IPv4 address do you access the MU IS (you can find out, for example, at https://whatismyip.com).
      • Which of the following pages works for you and which don't:
      • How long and possibly how often do you observe the problem with connecting to the IS MU from this place.
    3. Find out if you see an authenticated and secure page https://is.muni.cz/auth/, resp. if the system prompts you to log in to the IS MU (page https://islogin.cz/). You log in by entering your account and password. Do not use bookmarks in your browser in this step, type the address https://is.muni.cz/auth/ directly into the browser's address bar. If it doesn't appear, try clearing your browser's password and trying to clear your browser's cache. Contact your computer administrator to resolve these issues.

  • 11.How can I tell that the connection to the server I am using is secure?
    Provided you want to make sure that your connection to the server is secure, please check out the Information System security certificate. You can do so by clicking on the padlock icon situated in the address bar of your browser (usually next to the URL address, but its position may vary depending on the browser you use). This will display details related to your connection.

  • 12.When I enter my user name and password into the log-in form and try to log in, the System displays the log-in page again. It does not say that my password is incorrect, though. What am I doing wrong?
    You have not enabled cookies in your browser. To do so, please follow the instructions given in the answer to the question What shall I do to enable cookies in my browser?.

  • 13.What shall I do to enable cookies in my browser?
    To be able to log into the System, your browser must have cookies, which allow the System to identify its users, enabled. Although this option is active in most browsers by default, you may check its settings the following way:

    • Microsoft Edge

      Open Microsoft Edge, select Menu (3 dots icon on top right corner of the browser) > Settings > Site permissions > Cookies and site data. Turn on "Allow sites to save and read cookie data (recommended)" to unblock cookies.

    • Mozilla Firefox

      Open Firefox browser and in menu choose Preferences. In preferences search for Privacy tab. Search for a PRIVACY section and then look for History section. In a Firefox will: change remember history to Use custom settings. Find a checkbox Accept cookies from sites and choose it. Restart Firefox.

    • Google Chrome

      Open the advanced settings and select Privacy and security. Select Advanced. Select Privacy and security. Select Site Settings. Select Cookies and site data. Select the Allow all cookies option. Under General settings, select Allow all cookies.

  • 14.Even though I have closed my browser, I remain logged in even after reopening it. What shall I do to fix this problem?
    Provided your browser has been set to reopen the windows and tabs that were open before you last closed it, you will always need to log out once you are done working with the System. Closing the browser might not help in this respect. However, you may try to configure the option of reopening windows and tabs the way that makes the browser forget the logging credentials (this might only be possible in some browsers, though). Provided you use Google Chrome, please proceed as follows: Click on the wrench icon situated in the upper right-hand corner and go to Settings › Show advanced settings › Privacy › Content settings and select "Keep local data only until I quit my browser".

  • 15.How long do I stay logged in?
    You remain logged in for the time you have specified in the System before. The default period is 4 days. The time you have specified in the System represents a minimal inactivity period during which the System keeps you logged in. However, the maximum period can be longer than the specified one by up to 1/4. In practice this means that if you decide on, say, 1 hour, you can still be logged in even after 65 minutes of being inactive.

  • 16.My access to the System has been denied. Why? And for how long is this situation going to last?
    In the situation where your access to the System is to be blocked, you are usually notified of the fact by an e-mail giving you the name of the person imposing the ban and informing you about the reasons for the ban as well as for how long it will be effective.

    The user's access to the IS MU can be blocked:

    for an unspecified period of time
    Provided the user is, for instance, in debt to the University and he/she has not settled the debt by the required date, his/her access to the System can be blocked for an unspecified period of time.
    temporarily
    The user's access to the System can be blocked temporarily in the event of password misuse.
    Dlouhodobé odepření přístupu mohou zadávat oprávněné osoby na své fakultě. Krátkodobé zablokování přístupu k IS MU mohou zadávat správci systému.

    Authorized persons at their faculty can submit a long-term refusal of access. System administrators can enter short-term blocking of access to the IS MU. Before the access block is applied, the IS MU user will be informed on each visited page in the system by a notification of the impending system block. After the access block is applied, the system stops providing all services to the user.

  • 17.How do I add the IS MU icon to the desktop of a mobile device?
    You can add the IS MU icon to the desktop or home screen of the mobile device, which will take you directly to the system using a browser when clicked. To add an icon, follow the instructions below for selected mobile operating systems (may vary by operating system version):
    Android
    Open the address https://is.muni.cz/auth/ in the browser, the procedure also differs according to the version of the operating system, proceed either via Menu → Add to desktop or via Add to bookmarks (asterisk icon) → Bookmarks → Add shortcut to area.

  • 18.I can't log in to IS MU from Windows Phone, what should I do?
    In Internet Explorer settings, select "Web Preferred Version" → Mobile Version.

  • 19.IS MU protection against overload
    The Information system blocks users who use automatic click repeaters and thus overload the system, eg when registering for exams. The system will be blocked after exceeding the operation limit for monitored applications. To unlock, it is necessary for the user to reset the operation counters by copying the control code from the image.

    The number of operations performed and a description of the protection mechanism can be found in

    The Information system System (Use) Numbers of Operations Performed, Antiscraping

  • 20.IS-related recommendations for those leaving the school
    You can access your e-mail account and some of the IS applications using your user name and password even after you have left the school. However, the functionality of these applications may be limited (for more details, please see the answer to the question Are there any IS services that I can access after I complete my studies or stop working for the University?).

    Here are a few things we recommend you to do for you to make the most of IS even in the future:

    1. Redirect mail (if you want to read it outside the IS MU).

      To redirect, use:

      The Information system My Mail Settings
    2. Set up newsletters from IS MU.

      You can subscribe to news in several ways:

      Through Events, you can receive, for example, new posts from Blogs, Discussions, Notice Boards, etc.

      The Information system System System settings Events Configure email notification for IS events

      You will be automatically sent an e-mail summary of people from the My Friends agenda (eg if someone makes a change on their Personal Page, they create a new thread in the Discussion, etc.).

      By agreeing to receive news and offers, you can be informed about events at the university and after your studies.

  • 22.How can I change my user name (login)?
    Provided you want to select or change your user name, please use the following path:

    The Information system System Change user name

    You can log in to the system with the selected nickname (you can also continue to log in with your account). The address user_name@mail.muni.cz is an alias for your regular e-mail address učo@mail.muni.cz – you can, for example, list it with friends.

    If you no longer wish to use a nickname, you can cancel it using the "I want to remove my user name from the System. I do not want to change it." link.

  • 23.What is the higher security level of IS MU?

    IS MU offers several options to enhance the security of access to the system. One of these is Two-Factor Account Authentication, which provides an additional layer of protection for your Information System account. Once two-factor authentication is activated, logging in requires both a password and a second method of identity verification. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, especially in cases where attackers attempt to obtain user passwords through phishing or other deceptive methods — because accessing the system requires two steps instead of just one.

    The second option is the setting „Other primary password for other systems“,which will prevent the primary password from being taken over for other systems in addition to the IS MU itself. This option gives users a tool to take more control of their passwords. The „Primary password to the MU“ will then be used only for logging in to the IS MU and will not be passed on. The "other primary password" will be used in the so-called single login at MU for example to log in to an e-attendance, the SUPO dormitory payment system or to pre-order lunch in the canteen.

    Both options can be set in the section:

    The Information system Settings (gear icon at the bottom right of the page) Obecné nastavení hesel

    1 Vyšší stupeň zabezpečení IS MU.

  • 24.How to Set Up Two-Factor Authentication for Your IS MU?

    Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a login method that offers enhanced protection against phishing attacks. Attackers can’t easily access your account with just your password, as logging in requires two steps instead of one.

    Users can enable two-factor authentication through the following path in the system:

    The Information System Settings (gear icon at the bottom right of the page) Two-factor account verification

    The preferred method is using the IS MU Notification App, which is available free of charge from the official Google Play and Apple App Store. (See also: How do I install the IS MU Notification App?). Other supported authentication options include:

    • Citizen Identity (Identita občana) – The Citizen Identity Portal allows for secure electronic identity verification. It sends verification details via a secure channel to IS MU. If you haven’t activated your Citizen Identity, you can do so by following the instructions provided..
    • Authenticator App (TOTP) – After enabling this type of authentication, the user logs in using an app that generates time-based one-time passwords (TOTP). Along with their IS MU password, the user must enter this time-limited code.

      Examples of TOTP apps: FreeOTP, Google Authenticator (Android, iOS), Microsoft Authenticator (Android, iOS).

    Tip

    The main difference between authentication methods is their dependency on service availability. The IS MU Notification App is the most reliable method of verifying your login.

    A detailed video tutorial for setting up all authentication options (currently being translated, actually is here only Czech version):

    What if I forget my phone at home?

    If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you won’t be able to log in on your personal computer or in computer labs (e.g., during a final exam), because you’ll be missing the second factor (usually the mobile app). If you’re using the preferred method — IS MU Notification App — you can temporarily disable 2FA via your emergency email address. See the guide What if I forgot my phone at home and can’t confirm login to MU? for more information.

    Never confirm a login request you did not initiate yourself!

    Each request sent to your app includes a verification code, which must match the code displayed in IS MU. You can also view the address of the device from which the request was made under the “More…” link.

    If you receive a login request you did not initiate, do not confirm it. Likewise, never approve a request based on a phone call from someone else. Receiving an unknown request could indicate that your IS MU account has been compromised by an attacker who knows your login credentials. If this happens, report the incident to: istech@fi.muni.cz.
