How to Log In to and Out of NYU Services

1. Enter Your NetID@nyu.edu Username: On the first NYU Login page, under Sign in, enter your NYU NetID followed by @nyu.edu (e.g., abc123@nyu.edu). Not sure of your NetID? Go to the NYU Start Page and select Find NetID.
   • Cybersecurity tip: Be sure to confirm the authenticity of the Login page before entering your credentials.
2. Enter Your Password: After entering your username, you will be brought to a second NYU Login page to enter your NYU password.
   • Forgotten or expired password? Go to the NYU Start Page and select Can’t Log In?
3. Complete NYU MFA (Duo): If required, a third NYU Login page will prompt you to verify your identity and the authenticity of your login attempt via NYU Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), powered by Duo. Select Approve with MFA (Duo) and follow the instructions to complete NYU MFA.

4. Log Out When Done: Each time you’ve finished using NYU online services—especially on a shared computer—be sure to protect your account by logging out. When asked "Which account do you want to sign out of?" you may see more than one option. Be sure to pick the one with your NetID@nyu.edu username, then wait for a message confirming that you have signed out.

Login Issues

If you have trouble logging into your NYU account (step-by-step instructions above), try these tips:

If you received email with a link from a legitimate NYU source:

• On your computer, go to Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Firefox browser, then right click on the link and select Open Link in Incognito Window /Private Window.
• On your mobile device or tablet, select and copy the link, open an Incognito or Private browser window and paste the selected URL.

If you already have a Microsoft account (personal or alternate school), please try a different browser or open an incognito window.

New to NYU? 

• First, activate your NetID on the NYU Start Page.

Use the right username

• On the first login screen, enter your NetID plus @nyu.edu (e.g., abc123@nyu.edu) 
• Your username is NOT:
  • Only your NetID without @nyu.edu
  • Your University Number (N#########) 
  • A personal email like firstname.lastname@nyu.edu or a non-NYU email
  • An NYU school email like NetID@stern.nyu.edu, NetID@sternad.nyu.edu, NetID@law.nyu.edu, or NetID@courant.nyu.edu
• Don’t know your NetID? 
  • Current NYU community: Look on your NYUCard or use “Find NetID” on the NYU Start Page (requires University Number).
  • Applicants: Search for your NetID as provided to you by your school’s admissions office.

Use the right password

• On the second login screen, be careful to type your NYU password without typos. 
• Make sure you’re not using an old password, including one saved in your browser or a password manager. Try manually typing your password.
• Don’t know your password? Go to the NYU Start Page and select Can't Log In?

If you’re still unable to log in

• Confirm that you’re on the legitimate NYU Login Page (web address begins with login.microsoftonline.com).
