Test Two-Step Login for Microsoft 365

This article applies to: Two-Step Login

To check whether Two-Step Login with Microsoft 365 is working:

  1. Open Outlook on the Web (outlook.cornell.edu).
  2. If you did not need to sign in, sign out and then sign back in again.
  3. When requested, enter your NetID and password.
  4. Two-Step Login will prompt you to authenticate as usual.
  5. At the Stay sign in? screen, click the checkbox Don't show this again to reduce how often Microsoft 365 asks you to sign in.
  6. Click Yes to continue. 
When you are using Microsoft applications or Apple's Mail and Calendar applications to access Microsoft Exchange, you will not need to sign in on a regular basis. Don’t worry, Two-Step Login will stop attackers from breaking into your account.
