The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Secure Email Threat Defense uses Cisco Security Cloud Sign On for user authentication management. For information on Security Cloud Sign On, including FAQ, see the Cisco Security Cloud Sign On Quick Start Guide.
Make sure the email address you are using for Security Cloud Sign On matches the email associated with your Secure Email Threat Defense account. Some customers may have Security Cloud Sign On accounts using multiple email addresses. Secure Email Threat Defense does not support multiple email addresses for a single user. You must log in using the email address that was used to create your Secure Email Threat Defense account. If you don’t know which email address was used, check with your Secure Email Threat Defense administrator.
During the Security Cloud Sign On login process you will be prompted to enter your password; click Forgot password to get to the Reset Password page.
Microsoft 365 does not require accounts to have a defined first name and last name. When trying to authenticate with a Microsoft account that does not have a last name, Security Cloud Sign On returns the following error:
400 Bad Request. Unable to create the user. Required properties are missing.
To work around this issue, make sure both first name and last name are defined in your Microsoft 365 account.
