    Do multiple user accounts keep the device safe?


    If I have multiple user accounts on a device and one of them gets hacked, are the other accounts and their information safe? Or is the entire device compromised?

    The two-step verification emails show up in my inbox but I added a rule to mark the domain name safe a long time ago (verified that "techpowerup.com" is still in the safe sender list).

    Do multiple user accounts keep the device safe?

    Unknown devices on my Microsoft account

    Hello Flemmingk, Do multiple user accounts keep the device safe? :)

    Could these other devices be from friends that you may have signed in to your Microsoft account on for something?

    Either way, you can remove these devices.

    Afterwards to be safe, I would recommend to change the password of your Microsoft account, and enable two-step verification if you haven't already.
