Create your Microsoft account

Get the most out of your phone by creating a Microsoft account. If you didn’t create a

Microsoft account during the first start-up, you can always do it later.

If you already have an Xbox Live, Hotmail.com, or Outlook.com account, or if you have created

a Microsoft account on your Surface tablet or Windows PC, you don’t have to create a new

one – just sign in with the username and password for that account. If you don’t have a

Microsoft account yet, you can create one with your phone.

1. Swipe down from the top of the screen, and tap All settings > Accounts > Your

email and accounts.

2. Tap Sign in with a Microsoft account instead > Create one.

3. Fill in your account details.

Make sure you remember the credentials for the Microsoft account you added to your

phone. You need them if you want to reset your phone or change the reset protection settings.

Reset protection prevents a thief from resetting and reusing your phone if your phone gets

stolen.

4. Type in your phone number or an alternative email address. They are used to send you a

one-time verification code and to protect your data.

5. Select how you want to get your one-time verification code.

The verification code is required to confirm your identity. Your account and personal

information are safe even if someone else finds your password because they don’t have access

to the other device or email address you use to receive the verification code.

6. When asked, type in your email address or the last 4 digits of your phone number.

7. When you receive the code, type it in, and you are ready to back up your data and use your

phone.
