How to use ScombZ
Updated: Mar. 29, 2023
ScombZ is a web service that combines a portal page and LMS.
Shibaura Institute of Technology uses ScombZ not only for classes, but also for disseminating information related to student life!
First, please set up Microsoft’s multi-factor authentication (MFA).
This authentication method will also be used for other services, so be sure to complete the setup.
※The ScombZ authentication platform supports Single Sign-On (SSO).
Depending on the situation, you may not need to enter your ID and password.
If the “Login Complete” screen (2.5) appears at the end, the configuration has been successfully completed.

1. Set up Microsoft 365 Multi-Factor Authentication
To use ScombZ, you must first configure Microsoft 365 Multi-Factor Authentication.
Starting from October 2025, multi-factor authentication (MFA) has become mandatory for almost all systems related to our university.
By using MFA, you can reduce the risk in case of password leaks.
It is recommended to have both a PC and a smartphone ready for registering MFA (smartphone is required).
Please prepare them before starting.
In the instructions below, the following icons indicate the device to use:
1.1 Install Microsoft Authenticator App (Smartphone)
※After installation, open the app once and tap "Continue" or similar until the "Add Account" screen appears.
1.2 Access ScombZ (PC)
URL: https://scombz.shibaura-it.ac.jp
Username: Gakujou ID@sic
Password: Windows password
If not redirected, click the "here" link on the screen.
If confirmed, click "Continue".
※If it does not appear, proceed to the next step.
1.3 Add Account to Authenticator (Both PC and Smartphone)
Tap the "+" icon at the top right
Select "Add Account".
Then, allow notifications.
※If notifications are not allowed, MFA cannot be used.
Scan the QR code displayed on the PC with your smartphone. A two-digit code will appear on the PC.
Follow the on-screen instructions and enter the two-digit code in the app, then tap "Yes".
If the PC displays the "Name your app password" screen afterward, set a name with 8 to 16 characters and follow the instructions.
Microsoft Authenticator sign-in registration is complete.
|
※If you change your smartphone, you need to register the new device in Microsoft Authenticator. Before changing devices, connect your current device to the network (e.g., Wi-Fi) and follow the steps in How to Transfer Microsoft 365 Multi-Factor Authentication to register your new device. If your current device is unavailable, a manual reset is required. |
