Make Your Login Process Easier - Configure Two-Step Login Devices

Choose Your Default Two-Step Login Device

Setting your default two-step login device will speed up your sign-in process. If possible, set up multiple devices as a backup (e.g. both the mobile app and your phone number - see below).

  1. On a laptop or desktop computer, go to mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info and sign in with your ULID@louisiana.edu and password. Initially, you may be asked to authenticate with a code in a text message.
    • ​Note: If you are changing settings for a subsidiary account, make sure to sign in with that account's ULID@louisiana.edu and password. You can open a private browser window or use a different web browser to log in as your subsidiary account without logging out of other accounts.
  2. Under Security Info, click Set default sign-in method (or Change next to the line displaying your current default sign-in method).
  3. From the drop-down menu, select your preferred authentication method and click Confirm.
