Turn ON Two-Step verification for your Microsoft Account

Below you will find steps to activate a further protection system than a simple password: two-step verification for your Microsoft account. This is an additional “shield” helpful in defending the security of our Microsoft account from any attacks, which could give free access to all our data once we have obtained the relative password.

• Log in to account.microsoft.com via your Google Chrome browser.
• Log in on the Microsoft site with the data of the account on which you intend to enable the two-step verification
• Click on the “Security” tab at the top.
• At the bottom of the third box (starting from the left) click on “Update my info”.
• Once on this page, click on “Add security information”.
• You will then have to choose whether to add an alternative email address or a mobile phone number. In both cases, the procedure will follow the same path.
• After choosing and entering the relevant data, a security code will be sent to you (via email or text message, depending on your choice) which will expire after a few minutes.
• Enter the code and continue until saved to your account.

At this point, once we have entered all the necessary additional data, it is possible to activate the two-step verification. So let’s see how to activate it:

• Log in to account.microsoft.com via your internet browser.
• Log in on the Microsoft site with the data of the account on which you intend to activate the two-step verification.
• Click on the “Security” tab at the top.
• At the top right, under the heading “2-Step Verification” click on “Activate” or “Enable”.
• On the left, in the “Two-step verification” section, click on the “Set up two-step verification” item.
• Click “forward”.
• Two-Step Verification is now enabled, and you will be provided with a recovery code to restore your account. The code can be printed and/or saved.
