SSO transition update - Malone Xpress scheduled for Tuesday, 6 December

Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff:

We are making steady and positive progress moving all of our services and systems to our new SSO platform (Microsoft Azure AD). 

Malone Xpress is scheduled to be moved over to the new system early Tuesday morning, 6 December 2022. This will be when most students, faculty, and staff will be required to set up their password reset and authentication factors.

At this point, you may want to review our last message. It contains more details about what we are doing. But here is a shorter version that tells you only what you need to know and what to do...

1. Go to https://login.microsoftonline.com/ and sign in with your Malone.edu email address. If you are prompted to log in using your "personal" or "work or school" account, choose "work or school" account.
2. Set up your password self-service reset options and your multi-factor authentication options. 

You can do this now so you won't need to do it later. You can also choose to wait, but later you will be required to set it up. This would not be fantastic if you were forced to do this during a time-crunch, e.g., about to take a test, late for a meeting, assignment deadline.

You can review a complete schedule of services which are completed or scheduled in this Google Sheet (Malone.edu account required to access).
