    When you try to view or edit sensitive info related to your Microsoft account—like your credit card details—we might ask you for a security code first, to make sure that only you can get in to your account. But if you use a device often, you can designate it as a trusted device. On trusted devices, you don't need to enter a security code each time you try to access sensitive info.

    Here's how to add a trusted device:

    1. On the device you want to trust, go to the Security settings page and sign in to your Microsoft account.
    2. You'll be prompted to enter a security code. Choose whether to receive the code through email, text, or an authenticator app. Once you have the code, enter it in the text box.
    3. Select the I sign in frequently on this device. Don't ask me for a code. check box, and then select Submit.

    Help us protect your account

    You can now sign in and edit your info on this device whenever you want, without entering another security code.
