    Microsoft Vault-Text for Verification


    Is it possible to have more than one phone number as an option to receive a text code for verification? In other words, can I select one phone number over another if both are on my account? If so, how do I set this up?

    :)

    Personal Vault - How to change verification from code to PIN ?

    Hi Mike, thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. Please allow me to assist with your issue.

    Two-step verification is required to gain access to Personal Vault.

    On OneDrive Mobile App, you will be able to setup Personal Vault PIN to gain access to Personal Vault.

    On Desktop or Browser, the verification is by Text, Email or Microsoft Authenticator App depending on the two-step verification method you have configured for your Microsoft Account.

    I would sugggest setting up Microsoft Authenticator App so you can unlock your Personal Vault with lesser steps while on Desktop or Browser - Unlock Personal Vault > Send Notification > Approve on Microsoft Authenticator App. If you would like to update your
    Two-step verification method, please refer to this article:

    If you like to know more about Personal Vault, please refer to this article:

    Please let me know if I can help you further!

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.


    • Have you enabled two step verification?

    • Did you make any changes prior to this issue?


    If you have enabled two step verification in the Microsoft account. You’ll get a security code to your email, phone, or authenticator app every time you sign in on a device that isn't trusted.

    Microsoft Vault-Text for Verification

    Personal Vault (One Drive)

    How can anyone else open the Personal Vault without the 2 step verification that only you can perform? To my knowledge you have to be signed in online to your Microsoft account before you can open the vault. It's bitlocker encrypted locally on your PC
    even.
