Authenticate through Microsoft
This social sign-in option uses Microsoft for authentication requirements, password resets, and other support needs. This topic covers the following:
Prerequisite Considerations
To sign in through Microsoft, you must allow Blackbaud to access your information. When you authenticate for the first time, select Accept on the prompt that confirms permission to access your Microsoft account details. You aren't prompted again unless you disconnect from Blackbaud on your Microsoft account management page or Blackbaud changes the requested permissions.
Turn On Microsoft Authentication
To authenticate through Microsoft:
On the sign-in page, select Continue with Microsoft.
On Microsoft's sign-in page, provide your Microsoft credentials and follow the authentication steps. The first time you authenticate, select Accept on the prompt that confirms permission to access your Microsoft account details.
Access your Blackbaud solutions and resources to make sure your Blackbaud ID and organization are correct. To view details about your Blackbaud account, select your account under your initials in the top-level navigation.
Turn Off Microsoft Authentication
You can turn off Microsoft authentication at any time and sign in through Blackbaud's secure authentication service instead. You can use any type of email address with Blackbaud's service, including your Microsoft email address.
On your Blackbaud profile, select the button beside Authentication details and then select Edit email address.
On the Edit Blackbaud ID screen, select Disable Microsoft authentication.
On the Disable social authentication screen, select Send confirmation code.
Go to your Microsoft inbox and open the new email from Blackbaud Authentication Services about your Microsoft account.
Copy the confirmation code.
Back on the Disable social authentication screen, enter the code and select Confirm.
On the updated Disable social authentication screen, enter a password for Blackbaud's service that meets the password requirements.
Enter the password again to confirm it.
Enter your first and last name. They are used to identify you in the Blackbaud ecosystem.
Select Confirm. This signs you in through Blackbaud's service and returns you to your Blackbaud profile.
You can change authentication details, such as your email address, password, and authentication method, as necessary.
