Test Two-Step Login for Office 365

How can I tell whether opting in to Two-Step Login for Office 365 worked?

This article applies to: Two-Step Login

To check whether opting in to Two-Step Login with Office 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 confirm using a push, phone call, or passcode. The Duo prompt at this step might look a little different than usual. (This is expected.) 
  5. At the Stay sign in? screen, click the checkbox Don't show this again to reduce how often Microsoft Office asks you to sign in to Office apps.
  6. Click Yes to continue. 
When you are using Microsoft Office applications or Apple's Mail and Calendar applications to access Office 365, you will not need to sign in on a regular basis. Don’t worry, Two-Step Login will stop attackers from breaking-in to your account.
