Keyserver

Keyserver is a service which allows students to remotely access lab PCs on campus in order to access software which would otherwise be unavailable.

Log in using your Heriot-Watt username and password at https://keyserver.hw.ac.uk/login

Please note that multifactor authentication is required both for login to the Keyserver site above, and on connection to a PC.
You must ensure that app based notifications are set up as your default MFA method.
Text message and one-time passcodes are not supported for this system.

Please see https://www.hw.ac.uk/uk/services/is/it-essentials/multi-factor-authentication.htm for details on setting up the correct MFA method on your account.
