# Why RegApp?
|
|
|
|
|
|
The HPC Accounts at the RWTH Compute Cluster are moving to the [RegApp](https://regapp.itc.rwth-aachen.de/) to enable higher security measures when logging in, such as multi-factor-authentication. Starting this year, the RegApp will handle managing HPC user's [unix password](Changing the HPC Unix Password) and [ssh-keys](Adding SSH-Keys), and will offer multi-factor-authentication on a voluntary basis.

# What Will Change?
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the first step, which encompasses migrating the RWTH Compute Cluster Accounts from the Self-Service to the RegApp, not much will change in day-to-day business. Logging in on most login nodes will remain the same as it has been. The only difference will be changing the password used to log into the cluster: instead of using the RWTH Self-Service, the password has to be changed via the RegApp |
