> Manage your digital identity and your access to IT systems and applications.

All faculty, staff, students, and affiliates receive a NetID, a unique UConn identifier, when they join the University. A NetID is the cornerstone for your digital identity and is necessary to authenticate into most online services at UConn, including [Core-CT](https://uconn.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IKB/pages/10726901557). The University provides you with tools to protect your NetID (i.e., manage passwords and two-factor authentication) and modify how your name is published.
