How do I access two Microsoft accounts in one browser?

Microsoft doesn’t support being logged into multiple accounts (such as a work and school account) at the same time in a single browser session. If you need to access more than one Microsoft account at once, try one of these quick and easy methods:

▸Method 1: Incognito/Private Browsing Mode
  1. Open your Internet browser and sign in to your first Microsoft account
  2. Open an Incognito/Private browsing window in your Internet Browser
    • Google Chrome: click the three-dot menu and select New Incognito Window
    • Mozilla Firefox: click the three-line menu and select New Private Window
    • Microsoft Edge: click the three-dot menu and select New InPrivate Window
  3. In the new incognito/private window, visit my.northwood.edu click NU Portal Login to sign in using your Northwood email address (user@northwood.edu)

If you’re only trying to sign in to your Northwood University account and are running into issues, visit logout.northwood.edu to sign out of all Microsoft Office accounts first.

▸Method 2: Use Two Different Browsers
  1. Use one browser (e.g., Chrome) to log in to the first Microsoft account
  2. Open a different browser (e.g., Firefox or Edge) and sign in to the second Microsoft account
▸Method 3: Use Browser Profiles
  1. In browsers like Chrome, click the profile icon and select Add to create a new profile
  2. Use each profile to log in to separate Microsoft accounts
