Once you have two methods of authentication completed you will be able to sign into
your email!
You will need to always provide your password, and one other method of authentication
to sign into your school email.
Also remember to add a personal email address and phone number so you can reset your password. Here's how:
Once logged into your email, please set up your security info. You can do this by going to Outlook (within your school email) and clicking on your initials or profile picture in the top right hand corner. Then choose View Account. Then follow the steps below. By completing these steps, you will be able to reset your password using a personal email account.
Choose Email and provide a personal email address.
Choose Add a method again and choose Phone to provide a cell phone number.
Adding these two methods will ensure you are able to gain access to your account if you forget your password.
