Restoring Access to Your GVA Mail Account
⚠️ Forgotten Password
Cause: User cannot recall their account password.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. If you're a teacher, you can recover your password via the ITACA3 desktop portal (https://acces.edu.gva.es/sso/login.xhtml). Once logged into ITACA3, click on your name to view your digital identity, initial password, and recovery key. Alternatively, for certain accounts, password recovery might involve using your date of birth and a recovery code.
⚠️ Account Activation/First-Time Access
Cause: New users or those who haven't activated their account.
Solution: If you don't know your GVA email account or password, specific instructions involve accessing the SAI portal and selecting EClau, then providing your NIF, date of birth, and the last 6 digits of your bank account linked to your payroll. From there, you can access your account details.
⚠️ Difficulty with Mobile Configuration
Cause: Incorrect settings for accessing email on a smartphone or tablet.
Solution: For mobile devices, the simplest solution is to download the official Microsoft Outlook app. It typically auto-configures with your GVA email and password. Alternatively, you can manually add the account as a Microsoft Exchange type in your device's email settings.
Securing Your GVA Digital Communications
- 🔒 Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): For those in Conselleria de Sanitat, MFA has been activated since November 2022. It adds an extra layer of security, requiring a second verification step when accessing your email from devices not connected to the GVA network. Ensure you configure your MFA method.
- 🔒 Change Default Passwords Immediately: Upon first access, or if you receive a temporary password, promptly change it to a strong, unique password.
- 🔒 Log Out on Public/Shared Devices: Always ensure you completely sign out of your GVA mail account when using computers that are not your personal device.
- 🔒 Be Wary of Phishing Attempts: The Generalitat Valenciana digital identity is critical. Be vigilant against suspicious emails attempting to solicit your credentials. Official communications will never ask for your password directly.
- 🔒 Regularly Update Recovery Information: Keep your password recovery information, such as alternative email addresses or phone numbers, up to date within the ITACA or relevant GVA identity management systems.
