How to configure 365 Security Methods

Modified on Tue, 3 Sep at 8:31 PM

Office 365 requires you to configure security methods for the purposes of password reset and MFA. This guide takes you through how to complete this process.


This guide presumes you'll be configuring the "E-mail" method, however the process for each method is the same. For example if you choose "Phone" and type in your mobile number, you'll receive a verification code via text message.


Step 1: Sign into your Office 365 account at https://office.com




Step 2: Follow the steps to configure your preferred method. If you would prefer a different method select "I want to set up a different method"





Step 3: Type in a non work e-mail address. For example your personal e-mail address then type in the code from the e-mail.




Step 4: You've now configured your security information in Office 365.
