How to Enable 2FA (TOTP) on Outlook
Add TOTP Two-Factor Authentication to Your Outlook Account
Add an authenticator app as a sign-in method on your Microsoft account, scan the QR code with your Seedkeeper PRO App, then enter the generated code back into Microsoft to confirm.
Overview
Microsoft accounts support authenticator apps as a two-factor authentication method. This guide walks through setting that up using your Seedkeeper PRO instead of a phone-based authenticator app. Here's what the full flow looks like:
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Go to Advanced Security Options
Open Microsoft account Advanced Security Options.
Step 2: Sign in
Sign in with the Microsoft account you use for Outlook.
Step 3: Add another way to sign in
Under your sign-in or security methods, click Add another way to sign in to your account.
Step 4: Use an app
Click Use an app.
Step 5: Set up a different Authenticator App
Since your Seedkeeper PRO App - not Microsoft Authenticator - will display your OTP codes, select Set up a different Authenticator App.
Step 6: Scan the QR code
Microsoft displays a QR code. Scan it with the Seedkeeper PRO App - see Adding a TOTP Account for the full flow.
Step 7: Enter the generated code
Type the OTP code generated by your Seedkeeper PRO into the Microsoft setup screen, then click Next.
Your Microsoft account is now protected by an extra layer of authentication via OTP code, generated by your Seedkeeper PRO.
Deleting an OTP Method
Follow the same first steps: under your sign-in or security methods, find the OTP entry, then Remove it.
