Faculty & Staff: LawKey & PennKey Account Help

While at Penn Carey Law, you will make frequent use of two accounts: LawKey & PennKey. Both accounts share the same username, but need to be activated separately. We recommend you pick different passwords for each account.

 

ALL faculty and staff are required to enroll in Two-Step Verification (aka MFA) for both PennKey and LawKey accounts.

All faculty and staff should also enroll in PennKey SSPR. If you are not enrolled, you may experience delays with password resets.

LawKey & PennKey? What’s the Difference?

Your LawKey is used to access a set of services provided by the Law School including your email and computer log in. Your PennKey is used for the Canvas LMS, AirPennNet, and other resources. Please see below for specifics.
