每当有关于网络犯罪分子攻击或蓄意企图破坏在线保险库的报道时，其用户不得不怀疑安全措施是否足以确保数据安全？幸运的是，像OneDrive这样的云服务提供了不止一层保护，可以帮助用户克服任何预期的不幸或麻烦。在今天的帖子中，我们将学习如何强化 OneDrive 安全性(harden OneDrive security)以确保其安全。
通过额外的保护层加强OneDrive(Harden OneDrive)安全性
您可以通过以下方式使您的 OneDrive 帐户更安全：
- 使用牢不可破的密码
- 为OneDrive启用两步验证(Authentication)
- 设置智能手机应用程序(App)（Microsoft Authenticator）
让我们看看如何使用上述每个功能使您的 OneDrive 帐户更加安全。
1]使用牢不可破的密码
与往常一样，使用强密码(strong password)。这也是创建更安全的OneDrive(OneDrive)帐户的第一步。永远不要使用容易猜到的密码，例如 123456789、0000000 或与您的出生日期、周年纪念日等相关的密码。尽管反复提醒，但仍有一些人继续走这条路。
首先，创建至少 10 位数的密码。长度越长，您的密码就越安全。此外，建议使用数字、字母和特殊字符的组合。使用OneDrive，所有类型的特殊字符（空格除外）都可以应用您的大脑并制作一个混合了所有提到的元素的密码。如果您担心，您将无法记住您的密码，请将其记在计算机外的某个地方，创建一个便笺。
如果您觉得这太冒险，请使用密码管理器(password manager)。您可以使用本地密码管理器，但这会将您的使用限制在安装了本地密码管理器的计算机上。使用基于云的密码管理器，您可以从任何地方访问您的密码，而无需考虑使用的设备。
2]为OneDrive(OneDrive)启用两步验证
在上一步的基础上更进一步，为OneDrive(OneDrive)帐户启用两步身份验证。以下是如何去做。
单击(Click)您的个人资料图片，选择“帐户(Account)”。
当定向到新页面时，转到“安全(Security)”部分。
单击“更新安全信息(Update Security info)”。当定向到“安全基础(Security Basics)”页面时。
选择“更多安全选项(More security options)”。
在这里，当您选择电话号码或电子邮件时，您必须输入号码或电子邮件地址以确保它们与记录中的一致。完成后，Microsoft将向您发送一个代码以进行一次性验证。
输入代码以继续。
现在，当定向到“附加安全选项(Additional security options)”页面时，查找“两步验证(Two-step verification)”标题。
看到后，单击“设置两步验证(Setup two step verification)”链接并按照屏幕上的说明进行操作。
完成后，两步验证将为您的帐户提供额外的保护。
启用两步验证后，某些依赖Microsoft 登录的(Microsoft Sign-In)应用无法登录。(Apps)要解决这个问题，请在“帐户设置”下的“(Account Settings)安全和(Security and)密码(Password)”页面上向下滚动，然后单击“创建新的应用程序密码”(Create a New App Password)。您可以对设置两步验证后无法运行的每个应用执行此操作。当应用程序说密码不正确时，您将知道应用程序无法运行。例如，在Outlook桌面客户端中，您必须将真实密码替换为单击“创建新应用密码”后获得的密码(Create a New App Password)。这同样适用于Xbox和其他一些东西。

3]设置智能手机应用程序（Microsoft Authenticator）
您可以选择使用智能手机(Smartphone)应用程序登录，而不是输入密码。
在您的智能手机上启动Microsoft Authenticator应用程序。
选择“更新安全(Update Security)”信息。
当定向到“安全设置(Security Settings)”页面时，选择底部的“更多选项”链接。(more options)
在“附加安全选项(Additional Security options)”下，向下滚动到“身份验证应用(Identity verification apps)”部分。
接下来，选择“设置身份验证应用程序(Set up identity verification app)”链接。
此后，按照屏幕上的说明进行操作，您应该已准备好使用智能手机(Smartphone)应用程序而不是密码进行即时登录。
That’s all!

How to secure OneDrive Account
Whenever there are reports about an аttack or deliberate attempt by cybеr-criminals to breach the online vaults, its users are forced to wonder arе the ѕecuritу measures in place enough for ensυring thе safety of data? Fortυnately, cloud services like OneDrive offer more than one layer of protection that can help users overcome any anticipated misfortune or trоυble. In today’s post, we will learn hоw to harden OneDrive security to keep it secure.
Harden OneDrive security with additional layers of protection
You can make your OneDrive account more secure by-
- Using Unbreakable Password
- Enabling two-Step Authentication For OneDrive
- Setting Up A SmartPhone App (Microsoft Authenticator)
Let’s see how to use each of the above-mentioned features for making your OneDrive account more secure and safe.
1] Using an unbreakable password
As always, use a strong password. This is also the preliminary step towards creating a more secure OneDrive account. Do not ever use a password that is easy to guess like 123456789, 0000000, or something related to your birth date, anniversary date, etc. Despite repeated reminders, some continue to follow this path.
To begin with, create a minimum 10 digit password. The longer the length, the more secure your password is. Also, it’s advisable to use a combination of numbers, alphabets, and special characters. With OneDrive, all types of special characters (except whitespaces) are permitted to apply your brains and make a password that’s a mix of all the elements mentioned. If you worry, you won’t be able to remember your password, note it down somewhere off the computer, create a sticky note.
If you find this too risky, use a password manager. You can use a local password manager but that restricts your usage to the computer where you installed the local password manager. With a cloud-based password manager, you can access your password from anywhere, irrespective of the device in use.
2] Enable Two-Step Authentication For OneDrive
Advancing a step further from the previous step, enable two-step authentication for the OneDrive account. Here’s how to go about it.
Click on your profile picture, choose ‘Account‘.
When directed to a new page, go to ‘Security‘ section.
Click ‘Update Security info‘. When directed to ‘Security Basics‘ page.
Select ‘More security options‘.
Here, when you select the phone number or email, you will have to type the number or email address to make sure they match the ones on record. This done, Microsoft will send you a code for one-time verification.
Enter the code to proceed further.
Now, when directed to ‘Additional security options‘ page, look for ‘Two-step verification‘ heading.
When seen, click ‘Setup two step verification‘ link and follow the onscreen instructions.
When done, two-step verification will an extra layer of protection to your account.
Some Apps dependent on Microsoft Sign-In cannot sign in after you enabled two-step authentication. To deal with that, scroll down on the Security and Password page under Account Settings and click on Create a New App Password. You can do this for each app that won’t work after you set up two-step authentication. You will know an app is not working when it says the password is incorrect. In the Outlook desktop client, for example, you will have to replace the real password with the password you get after clicking on Create a New App Password. The same applies to Xbox and some other things.

3] Setting up a Smartphone app (Microsoft Authenticator)
You can choose to use a Smartphone app to sign-in instead of entering the password.
On your Smartphone launch the Microsoft Authenticator app.
Choose ‘Update Security‘ info.
When directed to ‘Security Settings‘ page, choose ‘more options‘ link at the bottom.
Under ‘Additional Security options‘, scroll down to ‘Identity verification apps‘ section.
Next, choose ‘Set up identity verification app‘ link.
Thereafter, follow the on-screen instructions and you should be all set to use the Smartphone app for instant logins instead of your password.
That’s all!
