Microsoft is a little late to the game, but the company has finally added two-factor authentication to its accounts. Microsoft will be upgrading all user accounts to support the increased security over the next couple of days.
Microsoft's implementation will work a lot like Google's authentication. Users can use a Windows Authenticator app, or receive a code via text message to confirm ownership of the account. On devices that you use often, there will be an option to stop Microsoft from asking you for a code. That makes the service painless and easy.
Check out the link below to download the Authenticator app, and then protect your accounts. There is no excuse to not use two-factor authentication. It can save you a lot of headaches by keeping your data safe!
