    Earlier today, something caused my name on my account to change. thinking I may have been hacked, I went to change the password only I can't. I need to log into the authenticator app, but the only way to log into the app is by authenticating it on the app which I can't do. My other option is to have a code texted to me but it wont send.When I go to change my number, it says I need to sign in on the authenticator app, which I can't do, or I get a code sent to my number which wont send. I tried sorting this out and then saw that I could reset my security information, which takes 30 days to do, a

    How To Create Two Factor Authentication for Remote Desktop

    Hello artmanphoto, are you using the built in remote software that comes with windows 10 ?
    I too use remote software, so can i suggest you change to one of the following.
    Because the remote software that comes with windows is very insecure.

    Anydesk
    To use 2 step authenticator with anydesk go here

    Teamviewer
    To use 2 step authenticator with teamviewer go here


    Splashtop
    To use 2 step authenticator with splashtop go here


    Radmin
    Does not have 2 step authentication as far as i know.
    But it does have IP Filter, very high security.

    All 4 have very high security,
    Anydesk, Splashtop & teamviewer all have so you can add two factor authentication with google authenticator.
    Personally i prefer radmin I can't change my 2 factor authentication details . How do I change my phone number on my... :)

    * Had to add Anydesk to my suggestion because it's just to good to leave out *

    Microsoft Account set to use 2 Factor Authentication & Authentication Phone App but it doesn't prompt for authentication when signing in to my Windows 10 PC locally or remotely (via RDP).

    OK I created a 2nd Microsoft account and setup the Authentication App on an old phone I had lying around for 2-factor authentication.

    Step 1

    I logged into this website with that account and it prompted me with the Authentication App so 2 factor is setup correctly on the NEW Microsoft Account.

    Step 2

    I logged in on my Windows 10 PC with that NEW account and it also DOES NOT PROMPT for 2-Factor Authentication.

    I tried to log in via RDP and, again, it DOES NOT PROMPT for 2-Factor.

    My question remains unanswered.
