Why am I asked to verify my account?

If you’re prompted to verify your account when you try to do something in your Microsoft account, it is because Microsoft is trying to protect your account. Occasionally Microsoft will prompt you to verify your account, just to make sure you’re still you and your account hasn’t been compromised by spammers.

How can I change my verification settings?

For organizational Microsoft accounts please talk with your IT department.
For personal Microsoft accounts sign into your Microsoft account. Navigate to “Security” on the Microsoft ribbon.

Navigate to “Two-Step Verification”

Here you can manage your password, two-step-verification, as well as view activity on your account.

What can I do if Microsoft isn’t verifying my account?

When asked to verify your account you may have other options to verify your account such as a phone call, a text message, or through email. You may have other obstacles to verifying your account such as not having a device with you, blocking Microsoft, inputting incorrect security information, etc. Please see “Common problems with two-step verification.”

How can I switch between my Microsoft accounts?

If you have both a Microsoft account and a Microsoft 365 work or personal account, it’s easy to switch between them without leaving any of your Office apps.
1. Click your name and picture at the top right of the window.
2. If you’ve already added your account to Office, click the account name. Otherwise, select Sign in with a different account and follow the sign-in prompts.
