Microsoft account enhances two-layer security

Recently, the news website LiveSide has revealed that Microsoft is planning to introduce a 2-layer password authentication feature to enhance the security of Microsoft accounts in the future.

Accordingly, users will have to go through 2 steps to login to Microsoft account on any device or application. Specifically, as usual, users have to type in the password, then the app will automatically send you a secret code and ask you to enter that code in the machine. After completing these two steps, we were able to edit the information in the Microsoft account.

The Windows Phone Store app store now has a similar feature called "Authenticator" , which allows you to create any security code for Microsoft accounts, ensuring information security for accounts. there.

LiveSide said that the disadvantage of this feature is that it does not yet support linked Microsoft accounts. For Microsoft account-based applications or devices that do not yet support 2-layer password authentication, Microsoft adds a feature called " app password", which randomly generates a password and user. will use that password to login.

It is unclear when Microsoft will introduce this two-layer password authentication system, but it is likely that Microsoft account users will soon be able to apply this feature in the near future.
