What would you like to do?

Don't recognize a sign-in? Change your password and contact the Help Desk for additional assistance.
Learn more about how to change your campus password on the CSUF Password Procedures website.
- Click on My Account in the left menu (if not already open).
- Click Recent activity.
- Review the details of a recent sign-in to your CSUF Microsoft account. Location can often be a helpful item to check as a sign-in from a state or country that you are not currently in can be a red flag.
- You cannot use the "Look unfamiliar? Secure your account" option on this page because you are not able to change your password here. You will need to change your password using one of the approved methods listed on the password policy websites listed above.
2. As you scroll down the recent activity page, you can click on a sign-in to view more details about it.
1. Click on Devices in the left menu. Then click on a device to view details about it. Personal devices can be disabled, but your campus-issued devices cannot.
- Click on My Account in the left menu (if not already open).
- Click on Devices.
- Then click on a device to view details about it.
- Personal devices that you no longer have access to can be disabled by clicking Disable lost device. Note that if you still have access to the device, you can sign out of your CSUF Microsoft account by going to Settings > Accounts > Access work or school and then clicking disconnect next to your CSUF Microsoft account. Learn more about removing a work or school account.
- Notice that you cannot disable a campus-issued device. Contact the campus Help Desk if your campus-issued device has been lost.
Using the sign out everywhere option will sign you out of Microsoft in all web browsers and mobile devices.
Note that if you want to sign out of your Microsoft account on the Settings menu, you should use the option to review your devices above.
