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
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.
Tip: When you receive the code in a message, your phone shows the message notification for
a while. To open the message, tap the notification. If the notification is not visible anymore,
swipe down from the top of the screen to see it in the action centre, and tap it. To get back to
the view where you can add the code, tap and hold the back key
The Microsoft account that you create on your phone is your account on all your Microsoft devices
and services.
Parents must approve the account for children under the age of 13. To approve the account, swipe
down from the top of the screen, tap
