On July 6 you will be asked to log in to Outlook on your desktop using the new Office 365 authentication window.  This change will apply to you if you are using one of the following applications: 

• Outlook 2016 for Windows and later  
• Outlook 2016 for Mac and later  

You will not see this change if you are using an older version of Outlook or another email client.   

What does the new authentication window look like?

The new authentication window looks very similar to the Microsoft 365 online login screen. You will be asked to enter your UM email address (john.smith@umanitoba.ca or UMnetID@umanitoba.ca) and password and click the ‘Sign in’ button.  

Old authentication window: 

New authentication window: 

Microsoft’s Modern Authentication is a new, more secure way to log in to our systems and the next step towards multi-factor authentication for all our systems.    

Please feel free to contact the IST Service Desk at 204-474-8600 with any questions or concerns about this change.
