We all know how important cybersecurity is, especially for businesses. One simple yet powerful security measure is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). But how can you, as an individual user, check if MFA is enabled on your Microsoft 365 account?

🔢 Follow These Steps:

1️⃣ Step 1: Sign in to Your Account

Visit www.office.com
Sign in using your Microsoft 365 credentials.

2️⃣ Step 2: Go to Your Microsoft Account Dashboard

Click on your profile picture or initials in the top right corner.
Select ‘My Account’ or ‘View Account’.

3️⃣ Step 3: Navigate to Security Settings

From the dashboard, find and click on ‘Security info’.

4️⃣ Step 4: Look for MFA Information

Here you’ll find details about your security settings, including whether Multi-Factor Authentication is enabled or not.

5️⃣ Step 5: Take Action If Necessary

If MFA is not enabled, you might want to contact your IT department or service provider to enable it for you.

💡 Tip: MFA is often a policy set by your organization’s IT team. If you don’t see the option, reach out to them for assistance.
