Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft Account)}是您用于登录Outlook.com、Hotmail.com和其他电子邮件ID^(IDs)的在线帐户。它还可用于登录其他Microsoft服务和设备，如Xbox Live、Windows PC等。Windows 11/10 也可以使用它来登录他们的计算机。因此，您必须保护您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft Account)}并确保其安全。

微软帐户保护

您可以执行以下几项措施来帮助保护您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft Account)}。

1] 不用说，创建一个强密码^{(create a strong password)(create a strong password)}。更好的是，^(Better)使用 ASCII 字符创建更强的密码和密码短语，因为拥有强密码非常重要。不要到处使用相同的密码。您可以使用Microsoft Password Checker^{(Microsoft Password Checker)}或Password Security Scanner检查您的密码强度。

2] 在 Microsoft 帐户中启用两步验证^{(2-step verification in Microsoft Account)(2-step verification in Microsoft Account)}。两步验证意味着Microsoft会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。

3]为您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft Account)}启用其他安全功能^{(additional Security Features)}。密切关注您的近期活动，使用恢复代码^{(Recovery Code)}并选择接收安全通知^{(Security Notifications)}。

4] 使您的常规 Windows 10 计算机成为受信任的 PC^{(Trusted PC)}。当您决定处置它时，请记住将其作为受信任的 PC 删除^{(remove it as a Trusted PC)}。

5]将所需的安全信息^{(Security Information)}添加到您的帐户并确保它始终是最新的。您将在密码和安全信息^{(Password and security info)}下获得此设置。

6]保持警惕^(Stay)，远离并避免网络钓鱼诈骗^{(avoid Phishing Scams)(avoid Phishing Scams)}，这可能会要求您访问链接并输入您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft Account)}凭据。

7] 不要在任何地方和任何地方提供您的主要电子邮件 ID。如果需要，如果您需要将其分发给网站、电子信函、订阅等，请创建一个辅助电子邮件 ID 。^{(create a secondary email ID)}

8] 您可能还想加强 Microsoft 帐户隐私设置。

9] 另请查看这些基本的一般提示^{(basic general tips)}，以保护您的电子邮件帐户^{(protect your email accounts)}。

您可能想知道的一些功能：

恢复代码

微软过去已经为微软账户发布了^(Microsoft)两步验证^{(2 Step Verification)}，在我们看来，这是你和黑客之间可以筑起的最大的一堵墙。使用两步验证^{(Step Verification)}时，您需要使用两组密码。一个是您自己分配的默认密码，另一个是通过电子邮件、短信^(SMS)、电话或移动设备上的验证器应用程序发送给您的安全代码。虽然这是一个非常有用的功能，但您可能会被困在没有手机接收的区域，从而无法访问互联网或通过SMS恢复代码。但是现在有了恢复代码^{(Recovery Codes)}，您就不必担心了。您现在可以创建恢复代码^{(Recovery Code)}当您有权访问您的帐户并在其他安全信息不起作用时使用它来访问您的帐户时。您可以通过从您的 Microsoft 帐户进入“安全信息^{(‘Security Info)}”来请求恢复代码。^{(Recovery Code)}

近期活动

从Microsoft 帐户设置的“^{(Microsoft Account)}最近活动^{(Recent Activity)}”菜单中，您现在可以查看跨不同设备和平台的所有登录活动的详细日志。您可以查看成功和不成功的登录、安全信息的添加和删除等。当您单击某个活动时，您会获得有关所使用 PC 或设备的 IP 地址、设备类型和它正在运行的操作系统以及用于访问您的Microsoft帐户的浏览器或应用程序的详细说明。如果不是您尝试登录，您可以单击“这不是我”^{(“This wasn’t me”)}按钮，该按钮将引导您完成帐户保护过程。另一方面，如果系统提示您在您的Microsoft帐户，而您正在访问它。单击“This was me”按钮，登录位置将被添加到安全列表中。

安全通知

您现在可以更好地控制收到的安全通知。如果您有多个电子邮件帐户和链接到单个Microsoft帐户的^(Microsoft)电话^(Phone)号码，您可以自定义哪些门户获得安全通知，哪些不获得。这应该会显着减少信息过载。您可以通过从您的 Microsoft 帐户进入Notifications -> Security安全通知。^(Security)

如果您还有其他要添加的提示，请在评论部分中添加。^{(If you have any more tips to add, please do so in the comments section.)}

如果您的Microsoft 帐户被黑^{(Microsoft Account is hacked)}，这篇文章将为您提供帮助。如果您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft Account)}被阻止，这是恢复暂停的 Microsoft 帐户^{(recovering a suspended Microsoft Account)}的方法。

Microsoft Account protection: Login and security tips

The Microsoft Account is an online account that you use to sign in, to your Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, and other email IDs. It can also be used to sign in to other Microsoft services and devices like Xbox Live, Windows PC, and so on. Windows 11/10 can also use it to sign in to their computers.  It is therefore imperative that you protect your Microsoft Account and keep it secure.

Microsoft Account protection

Here are a few things you can do to help protect your Microsoft Account.

1] Goes without saying, create a strong password. Better still, create stronger passwords and passphrases using ASCII characters, as having a strong password is very important. Do not use the same password everywhere. You can check your password strength using Microsoft Password Checker or Password Security Scanner.

2] Enable 2-step verification in Microsoft Account. A 2-step verification means that Microsoft will ask you for two pieces of information anytime you access your account. For instance, it could be your password plus a code that would be sent to your registered phone or email.

3] Enable additional Security Features for your Microsoft Account. Keep a watch on your Recent Activity, make use of the Recovery Code and opt to receive Security Notifications.

4] Make your regular Windows 10 computer a Trusted PC. When you decide to dispose of it, remember to remove it as a Trusted PC.

5] Add the required Security Information to your account and ensure that it is always up-to-date. You will get this setting under Password and security info.

6] Stay alert and keep away from and avoid Phishing Scams, that may ask you to visit a link and enter your Microsoft Account credentials.

7] Do not give out your main email ID anywhere and everywhere. If need be, create a secondary email ID if you need to give it out to websites, e-Letters, subscriptions, etc.

8] You might want to also harden Microsoft Account Privacy Settings.

9] Also check out these basic general tips to secure and protect your email accounts.

Some features you may want to know:

Recovery Code

Microsoft had already released 2 Step Verification for Microsoft accounts in the past, which in our opinion is the biggest wall you can put up between you and the hackers. When using 2 Step Verification, you rely on two sets of passwords. One is your default password that you assign yourself and the other is a security code sent to you via e-mail, SMS, phone call, or an authenticator app on your mobile device. While it is a very useful feature, you might be stuck in an area without cell reception making you unable to access the internet or revive the code via SMS. But now with Recovery Codes, you don’t have to worry about that. You can now create a Recovery Code when you have access to your account and use it to access your account when other security information doesn’t work. You can request a Recovery Code by going into ‘Security Info‘ from your Microsoft account.

Recent Activity

From the Recent Activity menu of your Microsoft Account settings, you can now view a detailed log of all your sign-in activities across different devices and platforms. You can view successful and unsuccessful sign-ins, the addition and deletion of security information, and more. When you click on an activity you get a detailed description of the IP address of the PC or device used, the type of device and operating system it was running, and which browser or app was used to access your Microsoft account. If it wasn’t you who made the login attempt, you can click the “This wasn’t me” button which will guide through the process of securing your account. If on the other hand you are prompted about unusual activity on your Microsoft account while it was you who was accessing it. Click the “This was me” button and the log in location will be added to the safe list.

Security Notifications

You now have much larger control over the security notifications that you get. If you have multiple e-mail accounts and Phone numbers linked to a single Microsoft account, you can customize which portals get security notifications and which don’t. This should decrease the information overload significantly. You can customize the Security notifications by going into Notifications -> Security from your Microsoft Account.
