When you sign in with your @u or @un Microsoft 365 account, the “Let’s keep your account secure” screen may appear. After you select “Next,” you may then see the “Sign in faster with your face, fingerprint, or PIN” screen.
These screens guide you through setting up a passkey for signing in to Microsoft 365.
Currently, setting up a passkey is optional.
If you would like to set up a passkey, please refer to the following instructions:
for Windows: How to sign in to Microsoft 365 using passkeys –with Windows Hello–
for Mac: How to sign in to Microsoft 365 using passkeys –with iCloud Keychain–
(Please log in with your Unified Authentication ID/PW when accessing this page.)
If you do not want to set up a passkey, on the “Let’s keep your account secure” screen, select “Not now” or simply close the screen.

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.
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.
Do it by

- Click the “My sign-ins” in the left-edge menu
- 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.
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.
