How to access it
Step 1: Log in
Log in to Outlook on the web using your IdentiKeyUsername@colorado.edu email address and IdentiKey password.
Please note: Microsoft 365 applications only accept logins using the IdentiKeyUsername@colorado.edu address format, rather than first.last@colorado.edu (as shown below).
Step 2: If prompted, complete multi-factor authentication
CU Boulder faculty, staff and students are required to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) to log in to Microsoft 365. MFA increases account security by requiring multiple forms of verification to prove your identity when signing in to an application. You should only have to do this when you first log in to Microsoft applications on a new device.
