Have you forgotten how to login to your Microsoft 365 Business account?
When you’re starting out with Microsoft 365 Business (or Office 365) it might be a tough concept to grasp that now everything you have been working on can now be sitting in the cloud somewhere.
Or you may have just come back from a long needed holiday and have completely forgotten everything about your IT system and how to get into it.
Never fear though.
You just need to bookmark this page and you’ll know how to get back into your account easily!
Where do you start your login to Microsoft 365 Business?
When Greendata sets up your business with Microsoft 365 Business you all get an Office 365 account to log into.
Everyone in your business will have their own account and login details and this is your/their identity when working in the cloud.
So your first step in logging into your account is here, clicking on this link: https://login.microsoftonline.com
As the above image suggests it takes you to the login page where you will either see a nice photo with a box where you can enter in your email address.
Now, depending on what type of computer you have and how you have set up your login’s this box maybe already pre-filled with your email address.
This is good and you just need to click on the email address and it will take you through to the password submit page.
If your email isn’t sitting there waiting, you need to enter in your email associated with your Microsoft 365 Business account and then hit that next button to get through to the next phase of logging in.
Entering in your password to Microsoft 365 Business
After entering in your email you are taken through to the next step of logging into your Microsoft account.
The password submit page.
Now you should know this off by heart or have it stored somewhere very safe so no one else can see it.
Having a long formidable password these days is essential to your business online security and shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Again, depending on how your computer is setup this password entry box may have already been populated for you.
If it isn’t, you need to enter it in and then click on the “Sign in” button.
Another point to add here is that you (or your trusted IT support company Greendata might have) may have installed an extra layer of security protection at this point.
There is a process called “Two Factor Verification” where you can either get sent a code to your phone to enter or you can also use the Microsoft Authenticator app on your phone too which generates a code to use here.
Now you’re logged into Office 365
Once you have either entered in the correct password and also, if needed entered in the code for the Two Factor Verification, you will be logged into your Microsoft 365 Business account which looks like the image below.
See, it’s quite easy!
From this area you can head off to your Outlook account to check your emails, into Microsoft Teams if you run your business projects through this app, use Excel, Word, OneNote or explore all of the other apps available with your Microsoft 365 Business account.
We hope we have helped you with this process as sometimes it’s easy to forget when business gets on top of you or, like we have said above, you’re coming back from a relaxing month long holiday at a quiet resort sipping drinks in the pool, getting massages and having food served to your door day and night.
If you have any questions you need answered about the above?
For example, you can’t login to your Microsoft account or you just want to know where to find a quiet resort that serves drinks in the pool, where you can get massages and have food served to your door day and night, give us a call on 07 5526 0278.
Or you can leave us a message and question details by clicking on the button in the bottom right hand corner if it hasn’t already popped up for you.
Oh, we can help you with much more than logging in and finding resorts.
