Common problems and solutions

Authenticator app isn't working ("Oops, something went wrong")

If the app is saying “Oops, something went wrong” or similar when trying to authenticate then your app is most likely not updated to the latest version.
Open up your Play Store (Android) or App Store (iPhone/iPad) and view available updates. If no updates are available, search for “microsoft authenticator” in the store and see if an update is available.
If it’s still not working you need to reconfigure the app. This is quick and simple to do, and instructions can be found further down under “I have a new phone and I need to configure the app again”.

Website stuck on "Checking activation status"

This can happen. Simply refresh the website and try again.

Email on my phone isn't working after enabling MFA (Android)

Note: If you’re already using the Outlook app on your phone, you do not have to do these steps!

We recommend that you start using Microsoft Outlook. This app is designed for Office 365, and is constantly updated with new features.
You can download Microsoft Outlook from the Play Store on your phone. Setting it up is done by simply entering your email address and password, and signing in with MFA.

If you really want to keep using the old Mail app, you have to re-add the account using the correct method of signing in.

The below steps is presented on a Samsung Galaxy S8. The experience may be slightly different on another Android device, but the primary steps are the same:

Remove old account, add new account and opt to sign in rather than setting up the account manually with inbound/outbound server and so on.

 

  1. Open the Mail app, go to settings, and remove your existing account. All your data is safe in the cloud.
  2. Tap the account:
  3. Tap Remove:
  4. Go back to Settings, and click Add account:
  5. Enter your orkla.biz account (important!) and sign in:
  6. Approve the authentication request:
  7. Approve the permission request:
  8. You may be asked to Update your security settings. Do so if asked.

You’re done. Your emails and calendar events should now start downloading to your phone. Note that it may take a while to synchronize everything.
