By clicking on the possibly existing Eduroam profiles, a button "Forget" appears. This way all Eduroam profiles should be removed.

2. Step: GET "geteduroam"

A few settings and the installation of a security certificate are necessary for a secure connection setup. The latter ensures that your device does not simply trust any (malicious) access point and pass on your login data.

The installation of the certificate as well as the configuration do not have to be done manually. For this purpose there is the geteduroam-app at https://geteduroam.app/.
