You may have recently received an email from UIT about needing to take action regarding "Microsoft Legacy Authentication".
Your email account was identified as using a device that logs into your university email account using a method that Microsoft will cease supporting this coming October 2022.
The simplest way forward is to use the latest Microsoft email clients on both desktop and mobile devices. However, if you are a rebel and refuse to be assimilated by the Borg, here are some potential solutions for you:
1. Open the Gmail App
2. Tap the hamburger menu ( ) and scroll to settings
3. Tap the 3-dot menu
4. Tap Manage Accounts
5. Tap Exchange and tap Remove Account
Now that the account has been removed, you can add it back with modern authentication.
1. Launch the Outlook app, tap “Get Started”. Note, if you do not already have the Outlook app installed, visit your device’s app store and download Outlook for Android.
2. Tap Add Account
3. Enter your myONIDusername@oregonstate.edu
email address and tap “Continue”. NOTE: do NOT click ADD GOOGLE ACCOUNT.
4. Enter your ONID password, then tap “Sign In”.
5. Authenticate with Duo prompt.
4. If prompted to add another account, tap “Maybe Later”.
5. Intro pages will appear, skip or view as desired.
6. Outlook will begin syncing to the server, then will be ready for use.
If you do not currently use Outlook on your iOS device, download Outlook for iOS from the App Store. This is the recommended email client unless you are a rebel.
1. Navigate to Settings > Mail > Accounts
2. Tap your OSU Exchange account
3. Tap Delete Account
4. Tap Delete to Confirm
Now that the account has been removed, you can add it back with modern authentication.
1. Launch the Outlook app.
2. Enter your ONIDusername@oregonstate.edu
email address then tap “Add Account”.
3. You will then be prompted for a password, enter your ONID password. You may then receive a Duo prompt.
4. If prompted to add another account, tap “Maybe Later”.
5. Intro pages will appear, skip or view as desired.
6. A prompt to enable notifications will appear, Turn on or say No Thanks, as desired.
7. Outlook will begin syncing to the server, then be ready for use.
1. Navigate to Settings > Mail > Accounts
2. Tap your OSU Exchange account
3. Tap Delete Account
4. Tap Delete to Confirm
Now that the account has been removed, you can add it back with modern authentication.
1. Navigate to Settings > Mail > Accounts
2. Tap Add Account
3. Select Microsoft Exchange
4. Enter your ONIDusername@oregonstate.edu
email address and tap next
5. Tap Sign In
6. You will then receive a prompt for login.microsoft.com. Enter your ONID, then tap Sign in.
7. Authenticate with Duo when prompted.
8. Configure settings to your preference and tap save.
We recommend you stop being a rebel and just use the Microsoft Outlook client.

(NOT first.last) in the "User Name" section*NOTE: Retrieving your e-mail, calendar appointments and tasks can take some time. The amount of time is dependent on the size of your mailbox and the connection you are using. E.g. - If you have a slower off campus connection, the time to load your mailbox will take longer.
