The free Microsoft Account for Android app improves the two-factor verification process when you sign in to Microsoft accounts.
When you sign in to your Microsoft account with someone device, you may be asked to verify the account after logging in with the correct username and password.
This happens automatically on all new devices, but it can also happen on devices you use frequently.
The options that the company provides you to verify the identity are with confirmation through a addresselectronic post officey or the phone number for SMS.
The process is not very comfortable, as you will have to use different programs to retrieve the code and use it where prompted.
In addition, you should always write (partially or wholly) your email address before sending you the code using the selected method.
The Microsoft Account for Android devices is going to make the whole process easier. The application is designed to improve the two-step verification process by requiring only one tap when it checks.
Before using the application, enter your username and password, select one of the available two-factor verification options, and type the code when you receive it. Are you ready.
Now if you come across a Microsoft account again, simply open the application on your device and press the button to approve the authentication.
Please note that Microsoft Account for Android does not support Microsoft notifications, so there is no history of previous recognition efforts.
You can add as many accounts as you want in the app to have security passwords you can use in the second verification step.
