Having Microsoft Account gives you the opportunity to secure your account by enabling two-factor authentication or multi-factor authentication, which is a way of verifying the identity of anyone trying to log in to a system. It requires you two-step to verify the person who tries login into your account before the access right is given or authentication is granted to the account.
How does multi-factor authentication Work?
The first step is generally entering a username and password. The second step is to verify you by means of a second factor, such as a code sent to an authorized device, such as a mobile phone or email to enter to access the system or email account.
Importance of two-step verification
• It greatly reduces the risk of credential theft.
• If someone has your username and password, they would still need to have your device or six-digit code in order to complete the authorization right to the account.
Note:
It is important to enable 2-Step Verification on all accounts and all social media platforms (example: Online banking, Apple, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Dropbox, Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, LinkedIn)
