How to Sign into the Office 365 Portal, Open a Shared Mailbox and Update your password.

Step 1) Please click the following link,Office 365 Portal // Office.com 

  • By clicking the link above, this will begin opening your default browser. (SLAM IT recommends: Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari from a computer rather than a smart phone/tablet device and to install the mobile/smart phone application instead of using your smart phone browser[The views would be very small]).

Step 2) You will then see a similar window below:

    • (i.e. CLAUDE MONET = CMONET@SLAM.org  // EDGAR DEGAS = EDEGAS@SLAM.org // BOB ROSS = BROSS@SLAM.org )
  • When you have entered a valid and active SLAM account, your webpage will change to display the S.L.A.M. background at the password screen seen in Figure 2 below.

Step 3) Type your most recent password here and proceed to press/click “Sign In/Enter” (If you have updated this password within the last 30 minutes, please allow the full 30 minutes for the automatic sync to complete first before attempting again).

Step 4) Please choose either option to continue to the next step. (SLAM IT Security Policy recommends never saving your passwords in a browser).

  • All passwords expire after 90 calendar days but can be updated at any time.
  • The “Change your password” feature does take up to 30 minutes to fully sync your new password information so immediate access to your DayForce, Outlook, OneDrive will not be available. 
  • Locked accounts will automatically unlock after 10 minutes from the last login attempt.
  • This process is very similar to the mobile version (Please contact SLAM IT for further assistance).
