Setting up your email account on your mobile device is a slightly different process, but can be setup on both Android and iOS easily.

Mobile Setup Instructions

We have recently started implementing Multifactor Authentication (MFA), which is a significant deterrent to unauthorized email access...even when the password has been compromised. MFA is often described as "Something you know, and something you own." The something you know is the password portion...and in our particular case, something you own will be a mobile phone number.

Please always remember that ITS will NEVER ask directly through email or through a linked web form for your username and password. Be extraordinarily suspicious of any email that asks for authentication credentials or ANY protected private information.

If you suspect an email might be possible spam or phishing, you can always forward it to helpdesk@alfred.edu and ask if it is a valid email. We can directly assist you in verifying that the email is fraudulent.

For security reasons, you will be required to have a complex password and you will need to set a new one on a regular scheduled basis. But no worries, you will be notified when your password is about to expire.

Information on Changing Password

If you've accessed your email before, but completely forgotten or lost your old password, then reset forgotten password.
