Welcome to Sensi Brands

1Set your password (do this first)

Your temporary password only works once. The first time you log in, you will make your own password. Pick whichever way is easiest. You only need to do one of them.

Option A: On a computer or phone web browser

1. Open a web browser (Safari, Chrome, or Edge).
2. Go to office.com and tap Sign in.
3. Type your username (your new work email). Tap Next.
4. Type the temporary password from your welcome email. Tap Sign in.
5. When asked, type the temporary password once more, then create a new password and confirm it.
6. If it asks for a phone number or personal email to keep your account safe, follow the steps on screen.
7. When you reach the Microsoft 365 home page, you are done.

Option B: On your phone using the Outlook app

This way sets your password and your email at the same time.

1. Install Microsoft Outlook from your welcome email link.
2. Open it and tap Add Account (or Get Started).
3. Type your work email, then tap Continue.
4. Type the temporary password from your welcome email.
5. When asked, type the temporary password once more, then create a new password and confirm it.
6. If it asks for a phone number or personal email to keep your account safe, follow the steps on screen.

Blip is the app you use to clock in and out of your shifts. Setting it up now means it is ready when your shift starts.
