Important Information

Creation of your email account may take up to six hours. When you log into your email for the first time, you will be asked to provide More Information that will be used to setup Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on your account. The Microsoft Authenticator app or a phone number can be used for this purpose. More information regarding this setup process can be found in our HelpDesk DIY article.

You will also be prompted add a phone number or non-Liberty email address to your account. If you reset your password in the future using Self Service Password Recovery (SSPR), a verification code will be sent to the phone or email address you provide. For more information and instructions about this process, visit our HelpDesk DIY article. 

For more information and instructions about this process, known as Automated Password Reset, visit our HelpDesk DIY article.

If you need assistance with MFA or SSPR setup, contact the Liberty University IT HelpDesk at (866) 447-2869 during normal business hours
