1. Outlook.com enables Trusted Devices to access sensitive information with single step authentication.

    A device can be marked as trusted by selecting the check box when you're prompted to enter a security code to verify your identity. Select the "I sign in frequently on this device. Don't ask me for a code." check box, and the device will become a Trusted Device upon successful login.

    You can also trust as many devices as you want there is no limit.
    If you don't sign in to a particular trusted device for 2 months it will be removed from your Microsoft account keeping your account secure in the event that a trusted device is lost or stolen without you realizing it. But if someone steals your device or it is lost somehow you may want to revoke that trust. This is a simple task on outlook.com - by navigating


    Click your profile image in  the top navigation bar
    Select 'Account settings' from the menu
    Open the 'Security info' category under 'Overview'. 
    Click 'Remove all the trusted devices associated with my account' under 'Trusted devices'
    then click 'Remove all trusted devices'.






    Remember, you can always trust a device again later.
  2. A lot of tasks on  Outlook.com can be completed using the keyboard. Many people think of shortcuts as something to use within an installed application on their computer but not often are they thought of when it comes to websites. But what about when that website is itself a robust application? It should include shortcuts too, and that's what outlook.com achieves.
     
    The shortcuts fall into several categories for Writing Email, Reading Email, GoTo, Email Actions, and Email list commands. But first, it's good to know the shortcut to the shortcuts!
    To see a list of keyboard shortcuts, in Outlook.com just press the ? key on your keyboard!
     If you prefer not to use shortcuts, or are more familiar with the shortcut keys you used on your old email service you can use the shortcuts keys from Gmail or Yahoo mail or turn it off altogether in the settings.
