At 9 p.m. on Monday, May 6, 2024, OTDI will be removing certain authentication options to log in to Microsoft 365. This will not affect any BuckeyePass registered options. Users who have registered via Microsoft 365 to authenticate with Text, Phone, Microsoft Authenticator, etc may experience a brief outage if they attempt to log in during the maintenance as we remove these as options to authenticate.
