Norse Key

Your Norse Key is the username and password that you’ll use to sign into almost every Luther service, including Norse Apps, KATIE, Norse Hub, lab computers, and more .

You can change your Norse Key password anytime before it expires at norsekey.luther.edu.

If you’ve forgotten your password or lost it, call the Technology Help Desk at 563-387-1000. For other issues, start with our guide for people who can’t sign in

Note: The Technology Help Desk will never request your Username or Password via email. Never email your Norse Key to anyone.

Who has a Norse Key
