How to Strengthen the Security of His Messaging Hotmail or Outlook with Validation in two steps.
Hello and welcome! My name is Claude Couderc and in this video I will
explain
how you can secure the greatest possible
your mailbox
Outlook.com or Hotmail.
When you connect to a mailbox from your computer, you enter
Your email address
your password.
So you can check your email.
Now if a hacker or cybercriminal,
managed to get the same login information,
it may also check your messages.
How cybercriminal able to recover this information?
Well, for example,
if you connect from
a public place like a restaurant or a hotel,
and if you use wifi these establishments,
cybercriminal on the lookout
can recover
connection information even when they are encrypted.
To counter this kind of attack Microsoft,
like Google or Yahoo,
has set up what is called a validation
in two steps. What is validation in two steps?
Once you are identified
the mail through your account
password, an additional code
will be sent to your phone or another email address,
to verify that you are who you claim to be.
To implement this validation,
open your mailbox Outlook.com
or Hotmail,
and how you click on your name in the email,
you see the account settings: Click.
In the account settings,
again after entering your password,
(this is an extra precaution)
you see the basic information of your account.
On the side, you have a tab called Security and password: Click.
Security in and password,
you can change your password,
or give an email address emergency
which enables
to recover access to your mailbox
in the event that you have lost
or forgotten your password.
2-step verification is just below.
You can configure
verification in two stages
by clicking on the link a message to explain
different scenarios,
you click Next.
Microsoft asks you:
How do you
we verify your identity?
Is it necessary to use an application?
In this case, a list of applications
compatible with Outlook.com appears.
Is it with a phone number,
where an email address emergency?
In this presentation, you will use an address
backup mail.
You enter an email address
you created on Yahoo.fr express, for example.
(It is not possible to copy and paste the email address, it must enter by hand)
You click Next.
A verification code has been sent to the email address Yahoo.fr.
Also, log
on Yahoo.fr.
Once you have logged into your mailbox Yahoo.fr,
there has a message "Security code" Team accounts.
The code that is sent is different every time.
Copy the code to be sure not to make any mistakes.
Then paste it into the box requesting the code.
Then do Next.
You get good confirmation that you are who you claim to be.
Outlook will display additional information
to synchronize with other devices,
it will be seen in an upcoming video.
Next do.
Outlook also explains that other devices, such as Xbox
may request a password application passes
click Finish.
Close
this tab.
An email sent by Microsoft also informs you that information security were
added.
This is simply due to the addition of the new email address.
Delete this message become useless.
Disconnect from the mailbox Outlook.com: you will check the operation of the validation in two steps.
Clear the cache of Internet Explorer,
to be sure to start a new session.
To do this, go to the Security menu of Internet Explorer
and then click Delete Browsing History
Click Delete.
The browser warns that the deletion is made.
Reconnect
on Outlook.com.
Ask maintain a connection by checking the ad hoc case.
Indicate
Your email address
and your password.
Click Connect.
Eventually, ask store your password (if it is a private computer)
now Outlook.com
prompts you for
email address for verification code.
Enter the email address Yahoo.fr.
(Outlook provides default first address the recovery had been informed before the presentation)
You can use either of these addresses recovery.
For the demonstration, I use Yahoo.fr address.
If a cybercriminal managed to obtain your login to your mailbox,
he might know your email address recovery.
The stars in the display email address avoid disclosing too much information about your emergency address:
avoid having email addresses firstname.lastname @ style or firstname.lastname @. Click Next.
You receive a new code.
Check your mail.
Indeed, you have messages from
Microsoft.
Open the newest message.
Copy the code
7 digits.
Paste the code.
Check the box to avoid having to provide a code for each login on this computer.
Obviously,
must do this
on his personal computer
and not on a public computer.
Click Send.
You can access your mailbox
mailbox through the validation in 2 steps.
Make a small control
at the account settings.
Security asking you the password whenever you want
access your Account Settings,
to be sure that you are who you claim to be.
certainly,
verification
two-step
is a little more restrictive,
but it also provides safety and comfort by saying that
attack your mail (with all its secrets!) is now much more difficult
than it was before.
Worry
it is not to be permanently.
In this case, it is only due to the request for access to the account settings that are sensitive information.
Then for daily access to your mail, it will not be necessary.
You can access the Security tab and password.
You find out your 2 email addresses,
allowing
either recover
your password,
if you have lost or forgotten,
or else
activate and check through the verification in two stages
you are who you claim to be. Thank you!
