When you sign in from outside the Dallas College Administrative network or Secure Wireless Network, you will be prompted for a code or an authorization from the Microsoft Authenticator App. The first step is to sign in with your password and a code is automatically sent to your phone. By setting up multi-factor authentication, you add an extra layer of security to your Office 365 account.

To access email from a phone or computing device outside of the Dallas College Administrative network, other than via a web browser, you will need to configure an App Password. This guide is intended to aid and serve as a “how to” for all users to configure mobile devices to read Dallas College email after they enroll in MFA. The Dallas College implementation of MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) is implemented for non-student accounts only.
