5. If you should get an error message at this time and need to reset your password, go to: https://starid.minnstate.edu
For additional assistance, please call the Communication Center at 800-658-2330.
6. To complete the setup, you will now need to secure your account using multi-factor authentication (MFA). You can download the app or select "I want to set up a different method." The following are steps to set up a phone method:
- If you want to use texting for verification, press the I want to set up a different method link at the bottom of the screen.
- Choose Phone from the drop-down menu in the Choose a different method window that pops up.
- Press the Confirm button.
- Select your country or region from the drop-down menu and then fill in the phone number (without the 1 and without spaces or dashes). Choose to have a code texted to you, or to receive a call. Press the Next button.
- When you receive the text, enter the verification code in the indicated field, then press the Next button.
- You will receive a pop-up window letting you know that your set-up was successful. If you press the Next button, you will be prompted to set up the Authenticator app as well as the text option for multi-factor authentication. This is optional. Just close the browser window and then open it again. You can then log into your account and will only have to use the text code as your multi-factor authentication option.
- NOTE: Your Minnesota West student email address is your firstname.lastname@live.mnwest.edu. This is the address people will use to send you email.
