Prerequisite: Set up Authenticator
You'll need to set up your new Microsoft login using the Authenticator app on your mobile phone. This is a required first step. If you haven't already done so, follow the setup instructions for iOS or Android.
Before you begin
- Check your OS version: Confirm your device is running a supported operating system by visiting uit.stanford.edu/guide/sunset-schedule.
- Backup your data: No issues are expected, but it's always a good idea to back up important data.
- Network connection: A reliable Wi-Fi network or wired connection will help ensure your enrollment goes smoothly.
- Save your work: Please ensure all your work is saved and applications are closed before starting the process.
