使用 Internet Explorer^{(Using Internet Explorer)}添加受信任的 PC

如果您不是Windows 8用户，或者您已经在线，您只需登录Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}即可信任您的 PC 。无论您的浏览器偏好^{(browser preference)}如何，您都必须使用Internet Explorer才能执行此过程。

页面加载时输入您的帐户信息，^{(account information)}然后单击或点击^{(click or tap)} “登录”。^{("Sign In.")}

成功输入您的电子邮件地址和密码^{(email address and password)}后，您将进入帐户摘要页面。单击^(Click) “编辑安全信息”。^{("Edit Security Info.")}

在“帐户安全^{(Account Security)}”页面中，单击或点击“将您正在使用的 PC 添加为受信任的 PC”。^{("Add the PC you're using as a trusted PC.")}
