Logging in with Microsoft 365 | Secure Access to BetterTracker

Learn how to log in to BetterTracker using your Microsoft 365 company credentials and what to do if admin approval is required.

Written by Garrett Browne

Use Login with Microsoft to access BetterTracker using your company-managed Microsoft credentials. This option is available to existing users when their BetterTracker email address matches their Microsoft work account exactly.

Logging in with Microsoft allows your company’s Microsoft security settings to manage the authentication experience. You can still use your BetterTracker email and password login if needed.

Summary

Existing BetterTracker users can log in with Microsoft when their BetterTracker email address matches their Microsoft company login, allowing authentication to be managed through their organization’s Microsoft security settings.

Login with Microsoft

Sign in with email and password

Who Can Use Login with Microsoft

You can use Continue with Microsoft if:

  • You already have a BetterTracker account.

  • Your BetterTracker registered email address matches your Microsoft work email exactly.

  • Your company administrator has allowed access to the BetterTracker Microsoft app.

This applies whether your BetterTracker account was created directly or you were invited by an admin.

How to Log in with Microsoft

  1. Go to the BetterTracker login screen.

  2. Click Continue with Microsoft.

  3. Choose the Microsoft account that matches your BetterTracker email address.

  4. Complete the Microsoft sign-in process.

  5. Microsoft will verify your account.

  6. Once verified, you will be logged directly into BetterTracker.

Switching from Email and Password to Microsoft Login

If you already log in with your BetterTracker email and password, you do not need to create a new account.

To start using Microsoft login:

  1. Go to the BetterTracker login screen.

  2. Select Continue with Microsoft.

  3. Choose the same Microsoft account that matches your BetterTracker email.

  4. Complete the Microsoft verification process.

Once verified, you will be signed in to your existing BetterTracker account.

Using Microsoft Login and Email Login Together

You can continue using both login methods:

  • Microsoft login: Uses your company-managed Microsoft authentication.

  • Email and password login: Uses BetterTracker’s standard login process and mandatory 2FA.

At this time, you do not need to choose only one login method.

2FA Requirements When Logging in with Microsoft

When you log in with Microsoft, BetterTracker 2FA is not required because authentication is managed by your company’s Microsoft security settings.

If you log in with your BetterTracker email and password, BetterTracker’s mandatory 2FA will still be required.

Important Requirements

Email Addresses Must Match

Your Microsoft login email must exactly match the email address registered in BetterTracker.

This may be:

  • The email address used when your BetterTracker account was created.

  • The email address your admin used when inviting you to BetterTracker.

If the email addresses do not match, Microsoft login may not connect to your BetterTracker account.

Troubleshooting

“Your administrator has not configured this app”

This message means your company’s Microsoft administrator needs to approve or configure access to the BetterTracker Microsoft app.

You can continue signing in with your BetterTracker email and password until your administrator completes the Microsoft setup.

“Submit a request to access”

This message means Microsoft requires admin approval before you can use the app.

Contact your company Microsoft administrator and ask them to approve access to BetterTracker.

"New User Pending Approval"

If you are a new user, your company administrator may need to approve you in two places:

  1. Microsoft, to allow access to the BetterTracker app.

  2. BetterTracker, to approve your user account if you are pending platform approval.

"I clicked Continue with Microsoft, but I cannot log in"

Confirm that your Microsoft work email exactly matches your BetterTracker registered or invited email address.

If the email matches and you still cannot log in, contact your company Microsoft administrator.

"I see an administrator approval message"

Your Microsoft administrator needs to approve or configure the BetterTracker Microsoft app before you can log in with Microsoft.

Until then, continue logging in with your BetterTracker email and password.

"Microsoft 365 login does not support personal Microsoft email accounts"

Login with Microsoft 365 and Create Account with Microsoft 365 are only supported for business or company-managed Microsoft 365 domains.

At this time, BetterTracker does not support personal or public Microsoft email domains, including:

  • @outlook.com

  • @hotmail.com

  • @live.com

  • @msn.com

  • Public @microsoft.com consumer-style email accounts

To use Microsoft 365 login, your account must use a company-managed Microsoft 365 work email address, such as:

  • name@yourcompany.com

  • admin@yourbusiness.com

If you are using a personal Microsoft email address, please log in or create your account using your BetterTracker email and password instead.
