Authenticate through Microsoft

Use Microsoft authenticationTo use Microsoft authentication with your Blackbaud ID, select Continue with Microsoft on the sign-in page. Then on Microsoft's sign-in page, provide your Microsoft credentials.
Note: The first time that you sign in through Microsoft, select Accept on the prompt that confirms permission to access your information. This prompt only appears during your first sign-in unless you disconnect from Blackbaud on your Microsoft account management page or Blackbaud changes the requested permissions.
