Sign in to Office

After signing in, you're automatically signed in to online services like Office Online or OneDrive.

From a web browser   

  1. Go to: https://www.office.com/signin

    For Office 365 operated by 21Vianet in China, sign in with your work or school account at https://login.partner.microsoftonline.cn.

    For Office 365 Germany, sign in with your work or school account at https://portal.office.de.

  2. Sign in with the personal Microsoft account you associated with Office, or the username and password you use with your work or school account.

If you're already signed in with an account, but you want to sign in with a different account, see the section below Switch between accounts. You might find it necessary to switch between accounts if you're trying to save or open files from a cloud service that uses a different account. For example, you may use more than one OneDrive service; one is associated with a work account, and the other is associated with a personal or school account; or you share your computer with someone else who is still signed in.
