Sometimes, Outlook shows you popups asking for permissions to configure various things. You might see messages similar to this one. They might be difficult to read like this one, or they may have a real mailbox name in front of “@royalroads.ca”. If you have access to many shared mailboxes, you may see lots of these. You can check “Don’t ask me about this website again” and click the Allow button on one of them and should all go away.

It is possible that there is a rogue application on your computer, mobile device, or second computer that is still trying to sync with your old password. This will cause your account to lock out for 10 minutes. Please contact Computer Services by phone so we can check your account. (Contact info at the bottom of this page) Possible reasons your account is getting locked out: Email application on mobile device is trying to use the old password - Open your accounts on your phone and update your password. Office applications on your computer that are still using the old password - If the application tells you that there is a problem, click “fix it” and follow instructions above (“How to log into Microsoft Office programs after changing your password.”) Logged into an RRU computer - If you happen to log into a console or second computer (like temporary program office) then this computer can continue to access resources in the background. Find the computer and log out. Applications in a browser tab - Scan all the open browsers tabs for any tab open to an RRU resource and log out and back in, or close the tab. RRU application open - Applications like EMS and CRM could have been open when you changed your password. Close the applications and re-open.
