The University of Toronto’s weblogin service, known as UOFT Webmail, gives you a single location to sign up for web services offered by the university.
One frequent name for this is a “single sign-on” (SSO) system. You can access services like the Portal and webmail as well as other weblogin-enabled web services after you log in to weblogin.utoronto.ca.
Access to protected services is made easier with a single login. Users can access numerous services by simply logging in once with a single JOINid/UTORid and password. Users can be verified by service providers without them having to manage their own password systems.
