Email Setup

The domain for this account is ihmc.org not ihmc.us, so your email address will look like gbadgett@ihmc.org. If you previously had an @ihmc.us account, emails sent to @ihmc.us will still be received at your @ihmc.org email account.

The password used for this account will be the same as other ihmc Active Directory services such as the internal website, VPN, etc.

Instructions for initial login/setup for your account

  1. Go to outlook.office.com

  2. Log in with your @ihmc.org email address.

  3. A “More information required” message will appear. Click Next.

  4. Office 365 is using two factor authentication. There are multiple options: Microsoft Authenticator (app), 1Password, Phone, or Email. To select another option than Microsoft Authenticator, click either “I want to use a different authenticator app” (1Password) or “I want to set up a different method” (Phone or Email).

  5. Once you have set up two factor authentication, you can proceed to your account.
