- Enter the following information on the Exchange sign-in screen:
- Email: [Your full email address abc123@psu.edu]
- Description: ex PSU O365 (NOTE: The description can be anything you want to name your Penn State Office 365 email account. It should be something you will be able to remember later).
- Tap Next.
- Tap Configure Manually – Sign in to your “psu.edu” Exchange account using Microsoft.
- NOTE: If you already have a PSU O365 account, you can select “Sign In” and will be taken to the Web Access screen to log in through Penn State web authentication and then through DUO two-factor authentication when prompted to re-enter your password.
- Enter your Penn State WebAccess password.
- Tap Next.
- Your phone will display Verifying for approximately 5 seconds.
