Single sign-on service

The HAW Hamburg single sign-on (SSO) service makes it possible for you to access various central applications and IT services from HAW Hamburg via a single login process using your HAW account ID and password. You can currently use the SSO service to access the following services:

  • Library services provided by individual publishers
  • The Zoom video conferencing system
  • Employee Intranet login
  • Typo3 login (web editors)

To log in, you need to use your new HAW user ID (w...123@haw-hamburg.de) and the accompanying password. The SSO service also uses two-step verification.

Please note: This service requires you to use an authenticator app (see FAQs below), and you will need to set up a new account in the app. The account you use to sign in to www.office.com will not work in this case. To set up a new account, you need to open the app and scan the QR code which is displayed there. Important: please select 'Other account (Google...)' here. Two-step verification via SMS is not possible.

  • Go to https://login.haw-hamburg.de and log in at the upper-right side of the page.
  • Add account (be sure to select 'Other account' and not 'Business or school account').
  • Enter the device names (e.g. mobile phone) and then the code shown.

If you are still having problems, please send a mail to: itsc-support (at) haw-hamburg (dot) de
