Login update

Your username / email address is changing

We're changing your username / email address from @ad.livi.co.uk to @kry.co.uk. There's a small action you'll need to take the first time you log in after the change.

Your new login
๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง United Kingdom
firstname.lastname@ad.livi.co.uk
โ†’ firstname.lastname@kry.co.uk

Only the part after the @ changes โ€” before the @ stays the same as your current username. For example: joe.bloggs@ad.livi.co.uk becomes joe.bloggs@kry.co.uk.

Your password stays exactly the same. If you don't remember it, you can reset it via this link.

People can still email you at your old @ad.livi.co.uk address โ€” it's kept as a secondary address, so those emails still land in the same inbox.

Your mailbox, calendar, contacts and all historic emails are unchanged โ€” only the address you sign in and send from is being updated.

Important: on your first login after the change date, you must click "Other user" on the Windows login screen โ€” don't tap your existing profile tile.

If you click your existing profile, the login will fail. See the step-by-step login guide with screenshots before your first login.

03 / IMPACT ON YOUR APPS

What changes โ€” and what doesn't

Most of your apps will continue working with no action needed. A small number of systems IT doesn't control may still show your old username โ€” this is expected.

โœ“ Working as normal

  • Microsoft Teams โ€” chats, calls, meetings
  • Outlook โ€” email and calendar
  • SharePoint & OneDrive โ€” files and folders
  • MyApps / SSO โ€” most enterprise applications
  • Quinyx โ€” see how this affects your Quinyx login
  • Workday โ€” HR system
  • Windows PIN โ€” no change needed; keep using it to unlock your laptop

Other apps via MyApps/SSO (Zendesk, WinningTemp, Anaplan, Contentful, WorkRamp, Sana, Printer Logic, XM Fax, TeamTailor) continue working with no action needed.

! May still show your old username

  • Third-party systems you sign into with a separate username and password
  • Older bookmarks that include @ad.livi.co.uk in the URL

If something stops working (rather than just showing the old username), email username-update@kry.co.uk and we'll investigate.

04 / FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to change my password?
No. Your password stays exactly the same. Only the part after the "@" symbol in your username changes. If you do need to reset your password at any point, you can use Self-Service Password Reset (aka.ms/sspr).
My email address changes โ€” do I lose old emails?
No. Your mailbox, calendar, contacts and all historic emails are kept. The old @ad.livi.co.uk address is kept as a secondary address so emails sent to your old address will still arrive in the same inbox.
What if I tap my existing profile instead of "Other user"?
The login will fail. Sign out and start again โ€” this time, click "Other user" at the bottom-left and enter your new username (firstname.lastname@kry.co.uk). The full walkthrough with screenshots is on the login guide page.
Do I need to do anything on my phone or the Authenticator app?
In most cases, no. You may be prompted to re-authenticate once in Teams or Outlook mobile โ€” sign in with your new username when prompted.
Why is this change happening?
It simplifies your login: one consistent address (@kry.co.uk) that matches your email. It also tidies up our identity setup behind the scenes, reducing confusion when working with external partners and connecting new applications.
Two of us share the same name โ€” what happens?
A small number of users have a name conflict in the new domain. IT will contact you personally before your migration to agree the new username. You don't need to do anything until contacted.
An app still shows my old @ad.livi.co.uk username โ€” is something broken?
Probably not. Some third-party systems (especially anything outside Microsoft and your SSO) keep their own copy of your username. These can't always be updated by IT. If the app still works, no action is needed. If it stops working, email username-update@kry.co.uk and we'll investigate.
I forgot my password โ€” how do I reset it?
Use aka.ms/sspr โ€” Microsoft's Self-Service Password Reset. You'll verify via Authenticator app or backup method, then set a new password. Works whether your username is the old or new one.
05 / QUINYX LOGIN

Does this affect how I log in to Quinyx?

It depends on which email address you currently use to sign in to Quinyx.

โœ“ You use a personal or other organisation's email

If you sign in to Quinyx with a personal email address, or one from another organisation (for example the NHS), nothing changes for you โ€” keep using that same address.

! You use your @ad.livi.co.uk email

If you currently sign in to Quinyx with @ad.livi.co.uk, your Quinyx username will move to @kry.co.uk along with your other logins โ€” no separate action needed.

Need help? IT is here.
