  1. Download the Microsoft Authenticator app onto your phone. You should have done this when you first setup multi-factor authentication for your email but if you have not you will need to do so before continuing. Please follow the steps in the below link to do so https://support.office.com/en-us/article/use-microsoft-authenticator-with-office-365-1412611f-ad8d-43ab-807c-7965e5155411#ID0EAADAAA=_Step_1
  2. Now on your phone got to Settings. Then go to 'Passwords & Accounts'. Now under accounts go to 'Add Account' .
  3. Select Exchange.
  4. Now enter your email address and select 'Next'.
  5. A popup that says something to the effect 'Sign in to your 'whatever domain name goes here' Exchange account using Microsoft?' Select 'Sign in'.
  6. Now a login.microsoftonline.com screen should come up. Enter the password for your email address and select 'Sign in'.
  7. You should now see a screen that says 'Approve sign in request.'


Feb 06, 2017 I recently got a new laptop, and got the Office Package from my employer and its running perfectly. I could add all my e-mail accounts and everything else. But when it comes to install and run iCloud, it won't work. I've spend the whole Weekend and figured out that Office 365 simply won't work without workarounds. Sep 18, 2013 The current work around is to not change the 'From address' until you are ready to send the email. When using Office 365 web services, text appears in a language other than your 'default' Office 365 language. Office 365 web services use browser settings to determine language.

Before continuing, I have to mention that before iOS 12.3.1 if you selected 'Receive notifications for verifications' when you set up the Mircosoft Authenticator, Approving the sign on would not work. You would have to select 'Sign in another way' at the 'Approve sign in request' screen. Then select 'Use a verification code from my mobile app'. Open the Microsoft Authenticator app and make a note of the code. Make sure that you have enough time to enter it in before the timer on the code runs out. Select 'Verify'. With iOS 12.3.1 all you have to do is open the Autenticator and select 'Approve' if you chose 'Receive notifications for verifications' when you set up the Microsoft Authenticator.

8.Select which options you want available to you on your phone like mail, contact, calendar, etc. and select 'Save'.
