NEW Microsoft Authenticator for TEST Procedures

Body

Questions

Do I need to change my TEST FAUNetID password even though I already did recently?

Why do I need to download Microsoft Authenticator?

Solutions

Yes, in order for your password to properly sync to your new EntraID (Your Microsoft ID in which will provide the new Authentication) it is required to reset your TEST password to sign into the SSOT (Single Sign On Test) environment. 

You will also need to download and configure the Microsoft Authenticator app on your mobile device.  The University is making the switch from Duo Multifactor Authentication to Microsoft Authentication. To prepare for the switch, we are first enabling Microsoft Authentication in the TEST environment. 

First, reset your TEST password

  1. Navigate to https://accounts-test.iam.fau.edu/
  2. If you know your current password, click on Change Your Password 
  3. If you do not know your current password or unable to sign in, click Forgot Your Password 
    1. Enter your NetID
    2. Click > Continue (The process may appear like it’s freezing but hang tight)
    3. Enter the recovery code sent to your configured backup email (Likely a personal email unless explicitly changed)
    4. Enter a new password never used before
    5. There may be a 1-15min delay before this password syncs to Entra (There are plans to speed this up before production launch.)
