How does it work?

eduroam’s secure and privacy-preserving technology means that there is no need to enter usernames and passwords through insecure web browser forms. Your device will identify a valid eduroam access point and log-in automatically. Your password is never shared with any of the access points.

Your password for your online identity is provided to you by your ‘home’ institution – where you are enrolled in study or are employed.
