New Login System Preview – What you need to know

Please note: Your new password won't work until Wed 28th May 2025 - thanks for your patience.
Kia ora e te whānau,
As part of our upcoming website login upgrade, we’ve created a short video walkthrough to show you exactly what to expect when the new system goes live. You can watch the video below.
What’s changing?
We’re transitioning from our current login system (Okta) to a new, improved system called Microsoft Entra. The layout may look a little different, but you’ll still have access to all your usual tools in the Aku Mahi dashboard.
When is this happening?
The new login system will go live on the morning of Wednesday 28th May 2025. Before then, on Friday 23rd May, you’ll receive an email that includes:
A link to the new login page
A temporary password to get you started
What does the video cover?
In the video, Khail from Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust walks you through the process step-by-step:
Logging in with the new system
Entering your temporary password
Creating a new, secure password
Accessing your Aku Mahi dashboard as usual
The email you’ll receive will also include a link to a password guide, in case you need help choosing a strong one.
Need help?
If you run into any issues, the Ara Hiko support team is here for you, their contact details will be in the email you'll receive too.
