To find the advanced security options for your Microsoft account, you need to access your account settings online.

The reference states that to find the advanced security options:

  • Sign in to your Microsoft account by visiting https://account.microsoft.com/.
  • Once signed in, find [Security] in the left sidebar.
  • Click on [Advanced Security Options].

This section allows you to manage various security settings for your account, such as:

  • Setting up two-factor authentication (2FA) or multi-factor authentication (MFA).
  • Managing your sign-in methods (e.g., password, phone number, authenticator app).
