What is Kerberos Account and how is it used at MIT?

Your MIT Kerberos account (sometimes called an Athena/MIT/email account) is your online identity at MIT. Once you set up your account, you will be able to access your MIT email, educational technology discounts, your records, computing clusters, printing services, and much more.

When you register for an account on MIT’s Athena system, you create your MIT Kerberos identity.
