  1. Uninstall any existing versions beforehand.
  2. Go to Login.MicrosoftOnline.com and log in with your OWU BishopMail address and OWU password, selecting “Login with Work or School account” when prompted.
    • 2-step verification is required. We recommend using the Google Authenticator app.
  3. Click the “Install and more” button at the upper right, and select "Install Microsoft 365 apps"
  4. Follow the instructions on the page.
  5. Once it’s installed, you can sign into the suite on your computer using your OWU email address and password, plus authenticator code.

If you have a new computer with Microsoft 365 already installed, you can log in with your OWU email address and password to activate the license. When it prompts you to use the Microsoft Authenticator app, click the link to use a different app. When you click Next after that, it will show you a QR code, which you can scan with the Google Authenticator app.

If you need any help with this, we can help, including resetting the 2-step verification on your account. This will allow you to set up a new authenticator app.
