Your account, your data. More secure.
Microsoft delivers the security you expect. We help to secure and safeguard your data, provide options to easily manage your account information, and offer ways to enhance your security and sign in without a password.
Eliminate your password
When you sign in to any Microsoft service, quickly and securely verify your identity with the Microsoft Authenticator app on your phone. Your phone provides an extra layer of security on top of your PIN or fingerprint. Available on iOS and Android.
Sign in 3x faster
With Windows Hello, your face or fingerprint is your password, enabling instant and secure login to your PC. Use your camera to recognize your face or try your fingerprint reader.
Take control of your data
Change a password, update security information, and review account activity. By keeping vital details up-to-date, we can help you access your account if you’re ever locked out.
Keep your files safe
With OneDrive, safely store and access your files and photos on all your devices. Your Microsoft account comes with 5GB of storage and the option to add more when you need it.
