By enabling this feature: - You can sign into Canva with your usual diocesan email and password. - You will no longer have an additional password for Canva. - Multi-factor authentication will be enabled on your Canva account without any configuration as this will be provided by your diocesan Microsoft 365 account. --- ### What you need to do to link your account 1. **Open the invitation email from Canva** The email address your Canva account is registered with will receive an email from **no-reply@canva.com** with the subject **Single sign-on enabled** 1.
