With the introduction of our LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) for Education you can access the Vevox dashboard directly from your VLE/CMS. This relies on external systems to authenticate you when logging into your Vevox Account.
To support this method of linking your Vevox account to PowerPoint we have introduced the Authentication Code.
Using an authentication code is particularly important for LTI users as it is the only way you will be able to authenticate yourself when using the PowerPoint add-in. It can also be used as an alternative method of logging in for all other users.
If you access Vevox directly through the www.vevox.com site, then you can log in as normal (without an authentication code). But you still have the option to use the authentication code as well.
When logging in with your authentication code and selecting the 'Remember me' box, Vevox will keep you logged in automatically. After 30 days of inactivity, this will resent and you will need to get a new authentication code.
Troubleshooting
Should you get an error message when logging in with and Authentication code saying "Invalid token. Try again" do the following:
Go back to the authentication code generator page.
Re-click the blue button to 'Generate Authentication Code'.
Copy the new code, and use the new code to login to PowerPoint.
