A Guide to Accessing Your BobcatMail Account
Finding the Login Page:
Locating your BobcatMail login is the first step. Typically, you can find it on the official Texas State University website, which is partnered with Microsoft 365: https://outlook.office365.com/
Enter your Login Credentials:
Once you’ve found the login page, you’ll need your Texas State student ID and password to access your BobcatMail Login account. This is the same ID and password you received during the registration process.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):
Texas State University might utilize Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for an extra layer of security. If this is the case, you’ll likely be prompted to enter a unique code in addition to your password during login. This code is usually sent to your phone via text message or generated by an authentication app on your smartphone.
