2. Generate a Secure Password (If You Have 2-Factor Authentication) 🔐

• Next, go to your Outlook profile settings. You’ll find it in the top right corner. Select ‘My Microsoft Account’. In the main menu, click on ‘Security’ and then head over to ‘Advanced Security options’. Here’s a quick link for you: account.microsoft.com/security.
