Before you can use any M365 application (like Word, PowerPoint, or Excel), you must sign in with your UAlbany credentials to activate M365 for that computer. In order to sign in to activate M365 Apps, you will need to complete 2-Step Login with Duo. You may need to authenticate using 2-Step Login with Duo, so be sure to have a Duo-registered device with you. If you are unable to complete 2-Step Login on a computer where you have not yet activated M365, you will still be able to use M365 apps (like Word, PowerPoint, or Excel), but they will function in Reduced Functionality Mode. |
