Many accounts today offer the option of two-step authorization (generally known as two-step authentication). This provides many security and privacy benefits for you and your business. So let’s take a look at Microsoft’s two-step verification for its accounts.
It’s a security measure that requires users first to use extra proof of identity, usually starting with a traditional password. What Microsoft has settled for it contacting a user every time an account is accessed. To get into your account, you can choose which method you use for the second level of authentication, including using email, phone or an authentication app.
It’s a simple process to activate two-step verification for your Microsoft accounts.
As mentioned, your second authentication method can be phone, email or an app. If you opt for the app, you will then need to link your account to the app to complete setup.
