New O365 Login Window Starting Wed., Nov. 1
The login process for Office 365, including Outlook email, OneDrive, Teams and others, will be updated on Wednesday, November 1 and will impact the way both staff and students authenticate to the system.
Read below to learn what username or Sign in needs to be entered in order to authenticate to the O365 system. Note, users will continue to use their Active Directory passwords and passwords will not be changed with this update.
- Staff Login: Staff have two options
- Enter their username followed by @hcpss.org in the Sign in field. For example, if the staff member’s username is jdoe, their sign in name would be jdoe@hcpss.org.
- Enter their email address in the Sign in field. For example, john_doe@hcpss.org.
- Student Login:
- Students will need to enter their username followed by @inst.hcpss.org in the Sign in field. For secondary students this is their O365 email address. For example, if the student’s username is "ssmith1234," their login would be "ssmith1234@inst.hcpss.org."
Note: Staff will continue to be required to approve the successful authentication to O365 via Duo MFA.
These changes are being implemented to improve security and reliability. We appreciate your cooperation as we work to enhance the security and efficiency of our information systems. Staff can direct their questions to TechSupport@hcpss.org.
