U of I Box, Logging in to Box services
Which password is used to log into U of I Box? Can I use Two Factor Authentication (2FA)?
Single Sign-on Support for Box Services
Box resources which support single sign-on (SSO) with your NetID and AD password will require using those credentials to authenticate. These resources include Box Web, Box Mobile, and Box Sync. SSO-enabled resources do not accept Box External passwords for authentication.
You may access U of I Box Web using the following methods:
- Go to https://box.illinois.edu and click the Log In link. Select your campus and use your NetID and Active Directory password.
- Go to https://uofi.box.com and click Continue. Select your campus and use your NetID and Active Directory password.
Managing your Box external password for FTP and WebDAV
If you need to reset your external password, you can use the password reset function at https://uofi.app.box.com/login/reset. Note this does not affect your NetID password, only your Box external password needed for Box interfaces which don't support SSO.
See U of I Box, Using Box with FTP or FTPS for more information.
Box and Two-Factor Authentication
The university is continuing its efforts to protect valuable assets and access by requiring Two Factor Authentication (2FA) on more systems and services in fall 2018.
See Technology Services at Illinois, 2FA for details.
