Reminder: Update to Microsoft Office 365 sign-in experience coming on 7/21/2021
In order to better protect our campus community and institutional data from the increasing number of cybercrime attempts, the TTU IT Division is updating the sign-in experience for Microsoft Office 365 services, including https://office.com, https://outlook.com, and certain applications such as Outlook and Teams.

Currently when accessing these pages, you are prompted by Microsoft to enter your email address. After entering this, you are directed to the standard eRaider sign-in page. Beginning tomorrow, July 21, 2021, you will instead be directed to a Microsoft page that prompts for your eRaider password. You may view additional information on this minor change, including screenshots, at https://www.askit.ttu.edu/portal/app/portlets/results/viewsolution.jsp?guest=1&solutionid=210628181700577.

Just as you are accustomed to verifying that the web address of eRaider webpages begins with https://eraider.ttu.edu, you’ll need to verify that the web address of the Microsoft Office 365 authentication page begins with https://login.microsoftonline.com before entering your password to ensure that you are not giving your password to a cybercriminal.

Please note that this change only impacts Microsoft Office 365 pages. The eRaider sign-in experience will not change for pages such as Raiderlink, Blackboard, and eRaider Account Manager. For more information or assistance, please contact IT Help Central at (806) 742-4357 (HELP) or via email at ithelpcentral@ttu.edu
