HarvardKey is the University’s new unified credential for accessing your desktop, email, and most University applications and online resources with a single, convenient login name and password. HarvardKey also offers an easy-to-use self-service portal for managing your account, giving you full control to change your password and update your recovery information in case you forget your login details. HarvardKey also provides optional two-step verification to keep your data, and the sensitive data you manage, even more secure.
Important information:
HarvardKey replaces the PIN System and HUID/PIN logins will soon expire. If you have not yet claimed your HarvardKey, please do so as soon as possible. You will be notified in advance of the expiration date. If your HUID/PIN expires and you have not claimed your HarvardKey, you not be able to access your computer, email, or University applications until you go through the claiming process.
It is highly recommended that anyone with a payroll function claim their HarvardKey as soon as possible to avoid any interruptions in access to their computer and other University applications, such as Peoplesoft.
Claiming is easy and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. To get started, review the step-by-step instructions at reference.iam.harvard.edu/HarvardKey, then visit https://key.harvard.edu and follow the link to “Claim Your HarvardKey.”
Online help, including video instructions, can be found on the HarvardKey help site, reference.iam.harvard.edu. If you need further assistance, contact the HUIT Service Desk at Ithelp@harvard.edu or 617-495-7777.
