微软刚刚宣布为^(Microsoft)Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft Account)}引入期待已久的两步验证^{(2-step verification)}流程。此安全功能将在接下来的几天内向所有人推出。

如今，Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft Account)}已成为解锁一切的钥匙，从Windows 10 PC 到Windows Phone，从 Xbox 到Outlook.com，从OneDrive和Skype到Office，等等。考虑到这一点，微软^(Microsoft)决定增加一个额外的安全层，引入可选的两步验证。

两步验证意味着Microsoft将在您访问您的帐户时要求您提供两条信息。例如，它可能是您的密码以及将发送到您注册的电话或电子邮件的代码。

在Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft Account)}中启用两步验证

要在您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft Account)}中启用两步验证，请访问account.live.com/proofs/Manage并进行必要的操作。

您可以选择下载Microsoft Authenticator应用程序。

如果您不想使用它，请单击跳过^(Skip)以进入以下页面。

现在，无论何时您访问您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft Account)}，都会向您发送一个代码，您需要输入该代码。

要关闭Microsoft帐户的两步验证，请转到同一“管理”页面，然后单击关闭^(Turn)两步验证链接。

单击是^{(Click Yes)}确认并完成。

Microsoft 身份验证器应用

对于手机^(Phones)，微软^(Microsoft)发布了一个微软验证^{(Microsoft Authenticator)}器应用程序，它支持两步验证码的标准协议，可以与你的微软^(Microsoft)账户和其他支持两步验证码的系统一起使用，比如谷歌^(Google)和Dropbox。

Previously we had a notion of trusted devices that was similar but only worked for IE and required you to manage a list if you had too many devices. With this release we’ve simplified things — you can skip codes on all modern browsers across major platforms, and you never have to manage the list. If you ever lose or sell a device, you can still choose to revoke these “trusted devices” by going to your security settings on account.live.com, says Microsoft.

在您经常使用的设备上，您可以选择不要求输入安全码的选项。

以防万一您不知道 - 您现在可以使用任何别名登录您的Microsoft帐户。
