New User Steps After Account Creation

  1. The new user will login on https://www.office.com, where they will be prompted to change the password and setup two-factor authentication.
  2. Once this has been done, the new user can login to any computer at Habitat with their email address and chosen password.
  3. Once logged in, they should click the OneDrive link in the bottom right of the screen to login to OneDrive with their new account. When prompted, make sure the Desktop, Documents, and Photos are synced with the system. For steps to do this, see this Microsoft document.
  4. If needed, they should follow the steps to create a BitWarden account.
  5. The user should login and add the share drives to their computer with the instructions here.
  6. The user should search for an open Microsoft Outlook on the computer to setup their email address. It is common for folks to use the more stripped down “Mail” app on Windows 10 and 11, but Outlook is what should be used.
  7. Setup a signature in Outlook. Here is a link to the Microsoft page with steps to complete this.
