Navigating Your OHSU Email Login Experience

- Enter your OHSU network account username. This is typically the portion of your OHSU email address that comes before the "@ohsu.edu".

Regaining Access to Your OHSU Email Account
β οΈ Cannot log in or access email.
Cause: Incorrect credentials, expired password, or two-factor authentication issues.
Solution: First, double-check your username and password. Remember, your username is the part of your OHSU email before @ohsu.edu. If your password has expired or you've forgotten it, visit portal.ohsu.edu to initiate a password reset. We know being locked out is stressful, so if you continue to have trouble, contact the OHSU Service Desk at 503-494-2222 for immediate assistance.
β οΈ Duo Mobile authentication not working.
Cause: Device not registered, app not open, or notification issues.
Solution: Ensure the Duo Mobile app is installed and actively registered on your smartphone or tablet. When attempting to log in, keep the app open and look for the authentication push notification. If the notification doesn't appear, try opening the app directly to generate a code or ensure your device has a stable internet connection.
β οΈ Accessing OHSU email on a mobile device.
Cause: App not installed or device not enrolled.
Solution: OHSU email can be accessed on mobile devices like iPhones, iPads, and Android phones.

Alternatively, you can use the official Microsoft Outlook app from your device's app store and log in with your OHSU credentials.
Fortifying Your OHSU Email Account Against Threats

- π Keep your Duo Mobile app and registered device secure, as it is critical for two-factor authentication, adding an extra layer of protection to your online account management.
