Unified Login Experience for UM Apps and Services
When you visit a University of Miami application or service, you will arrive at a UM-branded login page (sample pictured to the right and below). The login page creates a streamlined experience for our community that aligns with the University's branding.
You will sign in with your University of Miami Login ID* and password, and then you will be prompted to authenticate with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
*Note: If you don't know your Login ID, visit CaneID Self-Service at caneid.miami.edu and click the "Login ID" banner to easily view your Login ID information.
How Do I Know I'm on the Right Login Page?
The University of Miami-branded login page, or UM Single Sign-On (SSO) screen, displays a photo of the University of Miami on the left, and the username (Login ID) and password fields on the right. The URL in the address bar will start with https://auth.miami.edu/... (Sample below for reference.)
The https://auth.miami.edu/... URL is a secure UM login page, as noted by the "s" after the "http" in the web address.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I log in?
When you reach the sign in screen, enter your University of Miami Login ID and password. You will then be prompted to authenticate with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
What is a Login ID?
Your Login ID provides unified access to University of Miami systems, and is sometimes referred to as your User Principal Name (UPN). Your Login ID is usually formatted like your CaneID; however, the Login ID has @miami.edu or @umiami.edu appended to the end of the ID. (The @miami.edu or @umiami.edu at the end of the Login ID indicates that you are associated to the University of Miami organization.)
Currently, University users log in using different identifiers, such as their CaneID (e.g., sebastian), which is sometimes different from their Login ID (e.g., sebastian123@miami.edu). In 2025, the Login ID will become the standard credential for accessing University systems. Starting Wednesday, February 12, 2025, use of your Login ID will be required to access University of Miami systems (e.g., Workday, CaneLink, Blackboard, Box, etc.).
Note: If you don't know your Login ID, visit CaneID Self-Service at caneid.miami.edu and click the "Login ID" banner to easily view your Login ID information.
What happens to my CaneID?
Your CaneID is your unique identifier within University systems, and you will continue to use your CaneID for a variety of reasons—including when connecting to wireless networks at the University of Miami. Keep in mind that some University applications/systems may require a different ID to log in, and will prompt you accordingly.
Note: At any time, you can view your Login ID, CaneID, UM ID (C#), and EMPLID here.
