Founded in 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, Microsoft Corporation is a world-renowned American multinational technology company that manufactures personal computers, consumer electronics, computer software, and related products and services.
Microsoft is known for its wide range of products, such as Outlook, Skype, Xbox, Microsoft 365, Windows, Microsoft Bing, Microsoft Edge, MSN, Cortana, Surface, and Microsoft Store.
Accessing these products will require you to authenticate your identity, further asking you to sign in and link your Microsoft account at https://www.microsoft.com/link.
Microsoft takes security seriously, so it uses MFA (multifactor authentication). It adds an additional layer of security (protection) to the sign-in process. Sometimes your Microsoft account or app doesn’t support MFA. In that case, you will have to use a code generated by your app/ device at microsoft.com/link to access your account.
How to Link Your Microsoft Account via microsoft.com/link [Updated]
Linking your Microsoft account typically refers to the process of connecting a Microsoft account (such as an Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, or Live.com email address) to other Microsoft services, such as Xbox Live, Skype, OneDrive, and Windows 10.
By linking your account, you can use a single sign-in and password to access multiple Microsoft services and easily manage your account settings and preferences.
To link your Microsoft account, visit the Link Microsoft account page at www.microsoft.com/link and enter the code displayed on your app or device. After entering the code, sign in with your email address and password for your existing Microsoft account to verify your identity. Once your account is linked, you can use other Microsoft services and features.
