Accessing the 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

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.

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

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

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

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:

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.

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

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.

• 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.

To log in to the system, the user must know their učo (university identification number) and have a valid password assigned.

When entering your password, make sure to check the following:

• Whether the correct keyboard layout is selected on your computer or laptop. A common issue is entering incorrect characters when typing on a switched English keyboard layout. On many systems, the keyboard layout can be changed in the bottom right corner of the screen.
• Whether digits and letters are not being confused: e.g., number 1 vs lowercase letter l, or 0 (zero) vs O (uppercase o).
• Whether the učo has been entered correctly.

Also, make sure that cookies are enabled in your browser. By default, all major browsers have cookies enabled, but some security extensions or incorrect browser settings may block essential cookies required for the system to function properly.

If you still can’t log in and are sure that both your učo and password are correct, it is most likely that you have a different password stored in the system. In that case, you need to restore your access using the options provided on the access recovery page: https://is.muni.cz/podpora/obnova_pristupu.

We strongly recommend against saving your password in your browser (i.e., using the “Remember password” option after logging in). If you enable this option, anyone with access to your device may be able to log into the IS MU system under your identity while you are away.

If you ignore the warning displayed on the IS MU login page and still choose to save your password in the browser, you accept full personal responsibility for any potential misuse of your login credentials.

IS MU users can voluntarily provide their private phone number and personal email address in the system in case of emergency situations, such as when a password is compromised through a phishing email. If such a situation occurs, authorized personnel will be able to contact the user using this information and help resolve the issue.

Users can enter their emergency contact details in the following application:

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:
     • https://theses.cz
     • https://www.fi.muni.cz
     • https://www.muni.cz
     • https://www.cesnet.cz
   • 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 (islogin.cz domain). 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.

Cookies are probably not enabled in your browser. By default, all major browsers have the necessary cookies enabled. However, some security extensions or incorrect browser configuration may block essential cookies required for the system to function properly. You can enable cookies by following the instructions specific to your browser.

Browsers remember your login to IS MU for up to 4 days since your last activity, which allows for smoother use of the system without the need to log in repeatedly. If you want to prevent this, always log out after finishing your work in the system.

The login remains valid for up to 4 days from the last performed action.

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

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:

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 preferred method is using the IS MU Notification App, which is available free of charge from the official Google Play and Apple App Store.

All supported authentication options include:

• IS MU Notification App – the second factor is provided by the recommended official IS MU app. For information on installing the app, see question How do I install the IS MU Notification App?).
• 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).

A detailed video tutorial for setting up all authentication options:

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.

Yes. A user who does not have a mobile phone capable of installing an app for the second factor has two other options:

1. Citizen Identity (Identita občana) via NIA ID – The Citizen Identity Portal allows electronic verification of identity and returns this verification data to the IS MU system via a secure channel. As an identification method, you can choose NIA ID (username, password, and SMS code), which does not require the installation of a dedicated app; the verification is done using an SMS message.
2. Authenticator application (TOTP) in a desktop version – After activating this type of verification, the user employs an application that generates a time-based one-time password (TOTP). In addition to their IS MU password, the user also enters this time-based one-time password when logging in. Besides mobile apps, authenticator applications are also available for desktop computers and laptops. Examples of such authenticator applications include KeePassXC (Windows, macOS), 2fast (Windows), and Tauthy (Windows, macOS). See the list of verified TOTP applications. When adding a new key, instead of scanning a QR code, you simply enter its text version into the authenticator application.
