EES - Account and Authentication

I did not receive a code when signing in to Microsoft 365

If you did not receive a code when signing in to Microsoft 365, or if you did not receive a code due to a change of device, please click here.

*Unified Authentication System is required to view the site.

I signed in with an email address ending with @ u.tsukuba.ac.jp, but I can not use Office. What should I do?

Information signed in with other previous accounts such as @s.tsukuba.ac.jp account may be saved in the browser cache and cookies. Because of this, even if you intended to be signed in at @u.tsukuba.ac.jp, you may be signed in at @s.tsukuba.ac.jp.
Please delete your browser cache and cookies, or check if it’s available in other browsers such as “Microsoft Edge”, “Google Chrome”, “Firefox”, or use different device.

I forgot my password.

Go to https://login.microsoftonline.com/, select “Select Account” > “Forgot Password” on the “Enter Password” screen, and follow the instructions to reset your password.

I entered the Unified Authentication System password but cannot log in.

Logging into the Office 365 Portal requires a new password, which is defined by the user upon signing up for EES advantages instead of the unified verification password.

How is this service related to my personally registered Microsoft ID?

Apparently, you can receive some charge-free services from Microsoft by creating a Microsoft ID using your personal email address. That is not related to this service of ours. We do not recommend using your @s, @u or @un email address to create your Microsoft ID. That could cause a problem when you receive services from the University of Tsukuba.

Want to view my own sign-in history

Do it by

  1. Sign-in yourself in https://myaccount.microsoft.com/
  2. Click the “My sign-ins” in the left-edge menu
  3. Your recent active sign-in history is displayed

For detail, also refers to Microsoft’s newest document. (eg. search keywords “Microsoft365 recent activity” and read the Microsoft Support in that page.)
If you also want to change your password, please read this QA, ignoring the URL told in that document.

Can part-time faculty obtain an @u email address?

Part-time lecturers, professors, associate professors, special professors, visiting professors, and adjunct researchers who wish to receive the @u.tsukuba.ac.jp email address should submit an application form below and attach a copy of an ID card issued by the university.

■ACCC System Account Application Form -PDF-

You need your @u .tsukuba.ac.jp email address in order to self-register the EES benefits to use MS Teams, etc.
If you want to join Teams or Streams for the university, you need to sign in with your @u. tsukuba.ac.jp email address that you have signed up for ESS.

In Microsoft 365 apps (Word, Teams, etc.), a sign-in error occurs (error codes such as “AADSTS XXXX,” “CAA XXXXX,” “7q6ch,” or “Another account from your organization is already signed in on this computer”) — Windows version

This issue may be caused by a sign-in authentication error within the application. Please try the following methods.
(For Windows) — For the Mac version, refer to the corresponding Mac FAQ

  1. If possible, sign out of your Microsoft 365 applications such as Office (Word, Excel, etc.) and the Teams app, then close them. If you cannot sign out, simply close the applications.
  2. Click the [Start] button at the bottom-left corner of your Windows screen, then click [Settings] (gear icon).

  3. Select [Accounts] → [Access work or school].
  4. Confirm whether the university Microsoft account used for license activation (ending in @u or @un) is listed under Access work or school.
    If it is not listed, proceed to Step 6.
  5. Select the account you wish to sign out from, then click [Disconnect].
    ※This is not the OWA (Outlook Web App) domain join entry for @un accounts — please make sure you select the correct one.
  6. Restart your PC.
  7. After restarting, launch Office (Word, Excel, etc.) or Teams, and sign in using your university Microsoft account (ending in @u or @un).
    ★When the screen titled “Allow your organization to manage this device” appears, uncheck the box and click “No, this app only.”

If the error message “Another account from your organization is already signed in on this computer” still appears after performing the steps above,
refer to the following Microsoft support page, which may also be helpful:
Microsoft 365 apps activation error “Another account from your organization is already signed in on this computer”

I would like to change the display name of my Microsoft account (ending in @u or @un)

The display name for Microsoft 365 services (such as Outlook, Teams, etc.) can only be changed by the system administrator.
If you wish to change your display name to roman letters (for example, to facilitate communication with international collaborators or for work-related reasons), please read the following notes carefully and contact us via the inquiry form with the required information.

Important Notes Regarding Display Name Changes

  • The change will apply not only to your @u / @un email (Outlook) or Teams account name, but also to all Microsoft 365 services, including OneDrive, SharePoint, and others.
  • Since this change can only be made by the administrator, repeated or frequent requests (e.g., switching back to Japanese for meetings, etc.) cannot be accommodated.
