1. Reset your password

To connect to your new email, please:

 

First download the Microsoft Authenticator App from the Android Play Store or Apple App store on your phone as it will be required during your new set up process.

 

IMPORTANT: If this is the first time you're setting up the Microsoft Authenticator app, you might receive a prompt asking whether to allow the app to access your camera (iOS) or to allow the app to take pictures and record video (Android). You must select Allow so the authenticator app can access your camera to take a picture of the QR code. 

Once the Microsoft Authenticator App has been installed on your smartphone, please follow the below steps on your PC:

 

On your PC:

1. Open a web browser like Google Chrome in “Incognito’ or Microsoft Edge ‘In-Private’ mode.
2. Go to https://www.office.com

 

1. Click on Sign in.

 

 

1. Use your credentials 
   • Username: THIS WAS TEXTED TO YOU
   • Temporary password: THIS WAS TEXTED TO YOU
2. Follow the wizard to reset and create your own password.
3. Once you have reset the password, you will be asked for more information. Click on Next

 

1. You will now be presented with a wizard to configure the Microsoft Authenticator app on your phone. Click on Next.

 

 

1. On the next page for Authenticator setup, click on Next again.

 

1. You will need to set up your account to connect to the app. When you get to the Scan the QR code page, then go back to your smartphone to follow the below steps:

1. In the Microsoft Authenticator app, click on + sign at the top right.

 

 

1. Click on Work or School account.

 

 

1. Click on Scan QR code.

 

 

1. After scanning the QR code, your account will be added to the Microsoft Authenticator app. Now that the app has been registered against your account, let’s validate that it has been set up correctly by following the below steps.

You will receive a ‘pop up’ notification from Microsoft Authenticator. You will need to press the Approve button to move forward. The beautiful thing, compared to SMS MFA is that you do not have to type any number, making the process faster and easier.

1. If the setup is successful, you will receive the following confirmation – “Notification approved”. Click on Next.

 

Now, you will set up the backup solution, which is to use the regular MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) using the SMS option

1. You will be asked to enter your mobile phone number along with the country code. You will need to decide if you want to have your validation done via an SMS or having Microsoft call you

In the example below, I have chosen the SMS option. Once you receive the SMS, enter the 6-digit code and click Next

1. When successful, you will receive the following screen “SMS verified successfully.” Click on Next.

You are now ready to use Microsoft Authenticator as the default sign-in method. Click on Done.

You have taken a significant step to secure your identity!

Here is short video explaining the steps above:
