beck-online home access for students

Home access to the legal full text database beck-online is also possible for students and is carried out via a separate authentication procedure.

For this purpose, a personal beck-online account and a special authentication app (‘Authenticator’) for the smartphone are required. Free registration is possible at beck-online. For the personal account only your university address can be used as email address (...@*.uni-goettingen.de).

Important: The first-time creation of a personal account must take place within the campus network of the University of Göttingen, otherwise a ‘private’ account will be created without access to licensed content.

After completing the registration process, you will receive an email containing an activation link, which you can use to confirm the validity of your email address and to set a personal password.

As soon as the personal beck-online account has been set up, activate the option ‘2-factor authentication’ in your user profile, unless you have already done so during registration. You will then be offered the possibility to download and install the authentication app.

Important: The initial registration for 2-factor authentication must be done on your smartphone in the WLAN Eduroam in the campus network of the University of Göttingen.

Home access can be used on three devices, including a PC. The temporary security code is generated regularly via the smartphone app (‘Authenticator’)

Detailed step-by-step instructions for setting up the system can be found on the page ‘Heimzugänge für Studierende’ of beck-online DIE DATENBANK.
