please proceed to Step 2.
2. Press the home button, go to Settings
→ Accounts. (On some devices, you will then need to select "Manage Accounts".)
3. Look for a
Work Account that ends in @nexus-yfs.org:
Please note: only select
Work Accounts
- do not do anything with Outlook, Google, Adobe, or other accounts.
4. Select and remove the Work account ending in @nexus-yfs.org, if you have one that does.
Only remove "Work Accounts" - do not remove Outlook, Google, Adobe, or other accounts!
If you do not have a Work account ending in @nexus-yfs.org, remove a
work account that is not your current primary email.
If you only have one work account that is your current primary email, please remove that
work account.
Please only remove the work account that matches your current primary email if it is the only account.
If there are other work accounts that you can remove, remove that one and keep the work account that matches your primary email.
5. Open Company Portal

Please select the bell to continue.
