First Login from a Company Computer

1. Log in using the username and temporary password provided

2. You’ll be prompted to change your password immediately

3. Open Chrome or Edge — you should be automatically redirected to complete:

   • Microsoft 365 sign-in

   • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enrollment

4. After setup, you’ll be automatically signed into:

   • Outlook (for email/calendar)

   • Teams

   • OneDrive (in File Explorer)

First Login from a Personal Computer (BYOD)

1. Go to https://www.office.com

2. Click Sign In

3. Use your work email and temporary password

4. You’ll be prompted to:

   • Create a new password

   • Enroll in MFA using the Microsoft Authenticator app

5. Once signed in, you can:

   • Use web versions of Outlook, Teams, and other apps

   • Optionally install OneDrive and Office desktop apps (see BYOD policy)

📌 Remember: IT support is limited on personal devices. If you choose to install anything, you're responsible for setup and compliance. See more information here.

Tips

• Use a modern browser (Chrome or Edge recommended)

• If the login redirect doesn’t work, go directly to office.com

• Make sure your phone is nearby to complete MFA
