    Cant setup MS app for extra security.


    I'm trying to setup the MS app on my phone for two step security but both my email addresses that I use are not receiving the email, when I request a text the phone number is an old number and my info shows my current number.Trying to change info just takes me in circles to the verification process to use the app, emails, or a text. I can still login to the website but beyond that I'm just going in circles.

    :)

    I dont see 'more security' in any of the menuing https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...a-a6f2979a7944 How to create a new app password To create a new app password for an app or device, take the following steps. You can repeat these steps to create an app password for as many apps or devices as you need.
    1. Go to the Security basics page and sign in to your Microsoft account.
    2. Select More security options.
    3. Under App passwords, select Create a new app password. A new app password is generated and appears on your screen.
    4. Enter this app password where you would enter your normal Microsoft account password in the application.

    Need Serious Help: How To Record Video of What is Done on my PC?

    I suggest the following simple steps:

    1. Set the autosave options in MS Office to a low value say 5 minutes.
    2. Setup file history to autosave frequently - the shortest period is 5 mins
    3. Install Macrium Reflect Free and configure it to do a daily incremental system backup

    You should be well covered if you do the above to protect your key files.
