How Not to Get Locked Out of Your Microsoft Account While Traveling

❌ I tried to get locked out of my Microsoft account while traveling. I couldn't. Why? I'd prepared. You can too.

❌ Getting locked out of your Microsoft account
When there are login attempts from a location you normally don’t login from, Microsoft may ask for additional confirmation that you are who you say you are. If you cannot provide the information requested, you’ll be locked out until you return home. As frustrating as this is, it’s an important security measure that helps keep your account safe from hackers.
