BriefCatch for Outlook: Accounts & Authentication

Technical & Troubleshooting

This guide walks you through launching BriefCatch for Outlook and setting up your account after installation. We recommend signing in with Microsoft Single Sign-On (SSO) for the fastest and most secure experience. If you still need to install or reinstall BriefCatch for Outlook, start with our BriefCatch for Outlook Installation Guide.

Authentication

The first time BriefCatch for Outlook is opened, you will need to sign in and authenticate. This can be done with Microsoft Single Sign-On (recommended) or by manually entering your email address and password.

Note: If you already created an account in the BriefCatch Word application, you can use that same account to sign in to BriefCatch for Outlook. A separate account is not required.

Microsoft Single Sign-On

The recommended option is using Microsoft Single Sign-On, by clicking the "Sign in with Microsoft" button which will automatically sign you in, or if you're a new user, create an account using your Microsoft account information.

If you're an existing user, there's no further action required when using Microsoft SSO. Your account sign in will be handled automatically and you will be able to start using the BriefCatch app.

If you're a new user, you can proceed to sign up for a subscription.

Email & Password
