🛑Important Update for Outlook, Hotmail, and Microsoft Users!🛑

Have you ever tried to log into your email or computer and received a text message with a 6-digit code to prove it’s you?

Microsoft has just announced they are phasing out these text message (SMS) codes for personal accounts. Because scammers are getting better at intercepting text messages, Microsoft is moving everyone toward more secure options like "Passkeys" (using your phone's fingerprint or FaceID) or verified backup emails.
