Signing in with ORCID

If the system administrator has turned on sign-in with ORCID, the sign-in screen shows the Sign in with ORCID button. This option is open only to people whose ORCID iD has been set up for signing in to their account. You cannot create a new account with ORCID.

Your ORCID iD is set up on your account in one of two ways. The system administrator may have set it up, or you link your account by signing in at ORCID. The number you enter in the ORCID iD field of your profile does not enable sign-in on its own.

Linking your account to ORCID

1. Sign in with your e-mail address and your password.
2. Open Security from the user menu.
3. On the Sign in with ORCID card, press Link my ORCID account.
4. On the ORCID page that opens, sign in with your ORCID account.

When you return to the panel, the message "Your ORCID iD is linked to your account." appears and you receive an e-mail. The ORCID iD in your profile is marked as verified.

Signing in with ORCID

1. On the sign-in screen, press Sign in with ORCID.
2. Sign in on the ORCID page.
3. If two-factor authentication is on for your account, enter the code from your app.

Your Remember me choice applies to this sign-in too. The first sign-in to an account with ORCID is reported by e-mail.

Removing the link

Press Stop signing in with ORCID on the Sign in with ORCID card and confirm. From then on, nobody can sign in to your account with ORCID. Your ORCID iD stays in your profile as information.

When sign-in does not complete

• If your ORCID iD is not set up for signing in to any account, the sign-in screen says so. If you have an account, sign in with your e-mail address and password and link your ORCID iD, or contact your system administrator.
• An ORCID iD can be open for signing in on one account only. If the iD is linked to another account, the linking does not complete.
• Locked or disabled accounts cannot sign in with ORCID either.
