  • Ensure you are on the "Info" tab on the left menu.

  • Click the "+ Add Account" button on the right.

  • Enter your email address into the "Email Address" field.

  • The system should automatically detect that you should connect to Office 365.

  • It will ask for your password.  Enter your password, or click "Forgot my password" if you do not remember it.

  • Next, if you enter the correct password, you will be prompted to enter your "Multi-Factor Authentication" code.  This code can be, depending on how it was originally setup:
    • Sent to your cell phone.
    • Sent to another/secondary email address.
    • Sent to the Microsoft Authenticator app that you have signed in on on another device (cell phone).
    • Could already exist if you use a time-based authentication code from an authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator.
