Speaking of account, I just got notified by MS (yes I'm sure it's from them) that somebody tried to access my account so it asked me to verify and change password. That's second time in 6 months or so.
Also:
- In Settings Panel, search for Control
- Start Menu --> type control
The Settings panel itself has a search, which works really well. However, I am used to searching directly from the start menu, and that works well with Control Panel items, not so much with Settings items.
As long as they integrate it into the search from Start, I don't really care which way they go - Settings only, Control Panel only, or both.
Yup - I just clean installed 14971 on 3 VMs - set all three to FAST.
Third VM hasn't been getting updates, checked earlier and it was slow again.
All good Kari - you tuts are very well thought out, with potential pitfalls and issues already planned for prior to you publishing them. I'd rather wait an extra day an not have issues than to have it now and find typos bugs, and potential problems that you didn't bother making use readers aware about.
I have Two Step Verification turned on, using the Micro$oft Authetnciator app for Android on my cell.
Kinda irked that they originally were doing it via an app called Micro$oft App for Android, then arbitrarily changed - but instead of just changing the name of the app, they published a whole new app. I only figured it out when I FDRd my phone and clean installed the latest system image, and went to set up the old Microsoft App for Android - and it did not work....
At any rate, Micro$oft's TSV is easy to implement, and you get more than one option to enter your verification.
- I use the App,
- plus a Google Voice number for SMS codes,
- plus a non-Microsoft / Outlook / HoTMaiL / live.com account (GMail in my case),
- and I've also enable the OTP (One Time PW) function, of KeePass via an addon (via the TOTP - Timed OTP addon) and store the key in there for each account, so at any time I can open KeePass and have it generate a OTP for me on the fly as well.
It's relatively easy, and in this day and age, you're better off using some sort of TSV / TFA on every account that offers it.
Even here at 10F
Ahh, yeah, I can see that happening - although I don't see why that should be a trigger if someone authenticate's correctly with TSV authentication as well....
Yup - he caught it on my Office post. He PMd me about it and I took care of the issue.
Mine was caused by frustration preventing me from looking at the image carefully. The frustration was caused by me using Paint3D to try to perform a simple crop of my screenshot - and failing many, many times.
I wasn't doing any funny stuff lately, there are only couple of Linux distros in VM and even phone was off internet.
