Sign in using your Microsoft 365 credentials.

2๏ธโƒฃ 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’.

3๏ธโƒฃ Step 3: Navigate to Security Settings

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

4๏ธโƒฃ Step 4: Look for MFA Information

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

5๏ธโƒฃ 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.
