Once you have completed your enrolment, you will be sent an email with your LSBU email address (for example, s1234567@lsbu.ac.uk), username and a temporary password. You must change that password and set up your authentication before you can access your accounts.
Use the instructions below to do so.
If you have not yet received your email address and temporary password or it does not work, please get in touch with us via MyAccount or come to our help desk in the Library.
1. Please go to office.com
2. Enter your LSBU email address. Click Next.
3.Enter your temporary password. Click Sign In.
4. You will be prompted to change your password.
5. Enter your temporary password again.
6. Create a new password (see information below on password security) and then confirm and Sign in.
7. You will then be asked for More information. This is to set up your authentication methods so that you can login off campus and reset your own password in the future.
8. You will be offered the Microsoft Authenticator app, which you can download on your mobile phone or tablet via Apple App Store or Google Play Store. HOWEVER, if you prefer, you can use your phone and personal email address to get a code for authentication - see below.
9. To use your phone and email address, select I want to set up a different method from the bottom left of the box. You will need 2 methods of authentication, so choose phone first and follow the on screen instructions. Then follow the process again with your personal email address.
