  1. Back up your data
    • It is highly recommended to create a backup of the data on your phone in order to avoid losing any of the data stored on it. This can be done in a variety of ways, depending on the model of your phone and if you want to make a local backup or a cloud backup. You can also do so by backing up individual sections of your data, including your photos, music, or files. The following is a list of examples of services that can provide partial or total data backups:
      • iCloud
      • Google Drive
      • Google Photos
      • OneDrive
  2. Uninstall the Microsoft Authenticator App
  3. Export your SLU contacts
  4. Sign out of any St. Lawrence Accounts
    • If you are signed into any websites or accounts with your St. Lawrence credentials, please sign out of them to avoid potential security risks.
