My school email, which is NOT this one, I cannot access due to needing to use two step authenticator. When I try to use the authenticator app, it tells me to enter the verification code, which I cannot do because I am on the app that gives me the code. I am trying to go to college so this would be helpful if y'all could actually help since this is the college account.

Setting up Exchange on Andriod with school Office 365 account

It depends if your school has blocked access for setting up on mobile device email clients. Contact your school or ask an instructor if they have a step-by-step guide to setup up on a mobile client if allowed.

 

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.

 

two step authentication

I have exactly the same problem - recently activated two step authentication and now the Marketplace will not sign in when trying to perform updates. It also appears to affect my XBox Live sign in too. These appear to be the only apps so far to have this
problem on my phone.

The steps above (i.e. obtaining an app password from Sign in to your Microsoft account) worked fine for my Outlook email account and for my Live account in the settings page under Email+Accounts, however the Marketplace app still asks for authentication
(with what looks like my old password cached, judging by the length). I enter a fresh generated app password but it is not accepted. The error is a standard,

"There is a problem with your Live ID. Try again or sign in with a different Windows Live ID."

In case there was a problem with the copy/paste mechanism I tried,

• On the phone IE using the 'Copy password' button
• On the phone IE Selecting the password text on the page and copying
• On my Desktop computer, entering it in manually

None of which worked.

I have Windows Phone 7.8 on a Lumia 800.
