Set up your password reset verification method:
- Open the web browser on your device and go to the Security info page.
- Enter your credentials and click Sign in.
- Options will be available for you to set up as your security verification method. If multiple options are available, we strongly recommend that you use more than one as your security verification method, in case one of your methods becomes unavailable.
Authentication app: Choose to use the Microsoft Authenticator app or other authenticator app as your security verification method.
Text messaging: Choose to send yourself text messages to your mobile device.
Phone calls: Choose to get a phone call to your registered phone number.
Security key: Choose to use a Microsoft-compatible security key.
Email address: Choose to use an alternate email address that can be used without requiring your forgotten or missing password. This only works for password reset, not as a security verification method.
Security questions: Choose to set up and answer pre-defined security questions set up by your administrator. This only works for password reset, not as a security verification method.
After you select and set up your methods, choose Finish to complete the process.
Important: Information added for your phone number or email address is not shared with your organization's global directory. The only people that can see this information are you and your administrator. Only you can see the answers to your security questions.
