Frequently Asked Questions

If you have not registered your cellphone number with Partners to allow for phone-based authentication and are attempting to access your email from outside of the Partners network you may experience an "Access Denied" message.

WHAT IS PHONE-BASED AUTHENTICATION?
Phone-based authentication provides an extra layer of security when accessing certain internet-facing Partners applications, such as Outlook Web App (OWA) and PeopleSoft. This feature works by sending a unique confirmation code by text message when you log in. An alternative method is available by phone call.
