There are two options for logging in:
Log in with your Ellie account: you can have an Ellie account created based on your email address. Enter your email address as your username, your Ellie password, and click Login. If you don’t know your password or have forgotten it, you can also reset your Ellie account’s password from the login page by clicking on the Reset password button.
Log in with your Microsoft account: if your organization has enabled Azure Active Directory user management in Ellie, you can use the Login using Microsoft button to log in with your Microsoft credentials. Note that usually your Microsoft account is entirely managed by your own IT department; if this login option is used in your organization, you cannot change your account details or reset your password from Ellie. If you’re unsure whether or not the Microsoft account login has been enabled in your organization, please check with your own Ellie admins.
