They will use their own username and password to authenticate. For further instructions, see: <a href=\"https:\/\/eduroam.org\/about\/connect-yourself\/\">https:\/\/eduroam.org\/about\/connect-yourself\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For visitors from institutions that do not participate in eduroam, a U of T staff\/faculty member can sponsor a 24-hr &#8216;eVA&#8217; &#8211; eduroam visitor access account. To create one, you need a mobile phone. Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/eva.eis.utoronto.ca\">https:\/\/eva.eis.utoronto.ca<\/a> from a device connected to a U of T network. On the eVA website you will find a phone number and a unique passcode that is updated daily. From your mobile phone, text (SMS) the daily passcode to the specified phone number. You will then receive a return SMS message containing your temporary, unique username and password. Provide this username and password to your visitor, and ask them to connect to the &#8216;eduroam&#8217; wireless network using those credentials. You will need to request new login credentials each day that your guest requires access to the eduroam network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there are a significant number of visitors for whom eudoroam is not an option, it is possible to request a conference access code that provides temporary eduroam access for larger groups.
