2 factor authentication for my Microsoft.com id, is the feature available?

1Password stores my Microsoft.com id and password but it doesn't show me the option to add 2 factor authentication to the stored 1Password data like it does for other websites. I had to switch phones and removed the Microsoft Authenticator App as my 2 factor auth for the ID and wanted to switch to 1Password to manage it but it doesn't show. What am I doing wrong, or is it a feature you will be able to add in the future?

Thank you,
Jeff

    Hi Jeff,

    Thanks for the kind words and sharing your findings! I'm also a big fan of this feature, I confess I would utilize multi-factor authentication much less without it. 😅

    If you haven't already, you can also use Watchtower to identify items that are 2FA compatible but haven't yet had it set up: Use Watchtower to find passwords you need to change

    Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂

    Hi, I found the information on your site with a google search and it answered my question and I was able to add 2 factor authentication to my Microsoft id. Here was the link I used. https://support.1password.com/one-time-passwords/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=18388341772&utm_content=&utm_term=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIm-Lv2LTg-wIVGcDICh39UQvdEAAYAyAAEgIXPPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#set-up-two-factor-authentication-for-a-website

    The 2 factor authentication feature that you have added to the product is fantastic, it is extremely helpful! Great work!

    Thanks again,
    Jeff
