On the sign-in screen, enter your newly set up University email (########@students.lincoln.ac.uk) and then your password (changed in Step 1 above).

  1. You will be prompted to set up additional security for your account known as multi-factor authentication. This additional level of security means that only you will have access to your University account, files and information.

  2. To set up the Microsoft Authenticator App as an authentication method, click “Next” and follow the on-screen steps.

The Microsoft Authenticator App will now be your default sign-in method when logging into University resources. When you attempt to sign in, you will receive a notification on your phone via the app.
