2nd Step Verification for Skype account login?

Hi 
I am just wondering if there is any way you can enable 2nd Step verification on Skype? 
There is many websites like Facebook which enable you to have a 2nd step verification on your account when you login with your password, for example you would be asked to enter a code which is usually sent to your mobile phone or a phone call with the code for you to be able to login with your account, I can see this is possible with a Microsoft account but I can find no way to do this with just using a Skype username. 
Maybe Skype should give there users the option to do this so it will make accounts more secure and will enable less chances for a person to compromise  a Skype account.
I can see you can link your Microsoft account to your Skype username 
does anyone know if this will somehow enable 2nd Step Verification for a Skype username login NOT a microsoft account login. 

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Skype accounts do not offer 2 factor authentication. Also linking to a Microsoft account doesn't inherit that functionality from the Microsoft one to the Skype one.
If you are planning to create a new Skype account in the near future we strongly recommend going for a Microsoft account based on because of that.

  • Can I setup two-step verification for more than one Apple ID?

    I have one iPad and one iPhone.
    I have four Apple IDs.
    I want to setup two-step verification in all four accounts.
    Can I?
    It seems that I can't, because to add a "trusted device" to an Apple ID requires setting up Find My iPhone on that device. Find My iPhone requires an iCloud account (which is available with every Apple ID). But once you change the iCloud account account used for Find My iPhone on a device, the device will not be able to be used in two-step verification for the previous iCloud account. Or will it get remembered?
    Anyone have any knowledge about this?

    You should be able to have more than account authorised on your Mac's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option - and you should be able to select and sync purchases from both accounts to your phones

  • HT202656 verification code not sent to my iPhone (Sprint) for two-step verification for apple id

    I have tried to set up two-step verification several times using iCloud, first my iMac and then, when that didn't work, on my iPhone, all to no avail. I followed the instructions up to and including the step where the message says I will receive an SMS on my iPhone with a verification code. I never received the message with the verification code.
    I am using Sprint as my internet provider and working with an iMac with Mavericks 10.9.5 as the operating system and iPhone 6 with IOS 8.2

    Hey dagored,
    Thanks for the question. I would recommend completing the two-step verification process and then changing the SMS number associated once you upgrade:
    Apple ID: About two-step verification and SMS
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5593
    Or you can opt to complete the process and then turn two-step verification off completely:

    Thanks,

  • How do you remove devices from the device list when setting up 2-step verification for your apple id?

    When setting up 2-step verification for my Apple ID, I get a list of devices to verify.  My list has my old iPhone 4 and my old iPad, which I don't have either of anymore.  Is there a way to remove these devices from the list?  Plus, both iPads that are listed don't give any indication of which one is my current iPad and which is my old iPad, so I'm not sure which one to verify.  What should I do there.

    For reference, I figured out how to identify which iPad was which so I could verify my iPad.  I went into the settings on my new iPad and changed the device name, started a iCloud backup (not sure if this was necessary but I wanted to make sure the device name change persited to the cloud) and then was able to see the new name on the device screen for 2-step verification.  Hopefully this helps someone if they have a similar problem.  I still am not sure how to remove old devices from the list.

  • Since installing Microsoft two step verification for my Outlook account via my PC I can no longer send emails on this account on my iPad. How can I rectify this?

    Since installing Microsoft two step verification on my Outlook Account via my PC (Acer) I am unable to send emails on my iPad. I can neither remove two step verification or find a way to solve this. I would prefer to keep this email account as my prime one.

    You will probably need to create an app password for the Outlook account for use on the iPad...

  • 2-Step Verification for Apple Mail on OS 10.7.5

    Can someone verify if having 2-Step Apple ID verification work for Apple Mail? I use iCloud email but on my MacBook (OSX 10.7.5) Mail program, I can't access it. I tested my iCloud Account via Settings and it can't log in. I discovered that by turning off the 2-step verification it works normally on my MacBook.
    I'm interested in switching back to 2-Step Verification but I'm worried it won't work again. I'd like to know if this is working now for OSX 10.7.5? I can't upgrade to a new OSX on my MacBook since it's an older model.

    Double-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
    imap.gmail.com
    Launch the Network Utility application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Network Utility in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Select the Lookup tab and paste into the address field (command-V). Press return. Post the output that appears below – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Step 2
    Select the Ping tab and do the same. Please enter the same input as you did in Step 1. Don't use the output of Step 1 as input to Step 2.
    Important Note
    Some web browsers and mail clients will automatically convert a domain name such as "www.example.com" to a clickable URL, such as http://www.example.com. That will interfere with the test. If necessary, edit the input in the Network Utility window to remove any added characters.

  • Will Apple Create Its Own Version Of 2-Step Verification For Apple Services?

    I create strong passwords which include numbers, upper and lower case letters, !? and other allowed symbols.  However, even with good passwords, key-logger programs and other methods can be used to hack accounts.
    Google has created the Google Authenticator App which is 2-step Verification.  It is very secure and makes external hacking as close to impossible as one can get.  I use it for my Google Products, including Gmail, Blogger, Google+ and so on.  It is an added step which can seem like a pain, but I really enjoy the sense of added security.
    Will Apple ever create its own version to help secure iCloud, Apple Mail, iTunes, so on?  I would really like to see this as an optional security feature.

  • Password reset for Skype account not Microsoft acc...

    I have 1 skype account and 1 microsoft account. Both are registered to the same e-mail. They are not linked because i can't remember my skype login password. When i try to reset the password for the skype login i need to enter my email and then i tries to reset password the microsoft account not the skype. How do i reset my skype account password? 

    When you sign in to skype, do you write a user name (like "freakalis") or do you use a mail address
    (like [e-mail removed for privacy and security])
    AND
    are you sure that you don't have TWO skype accounts? one with a normal user name, and one created using your micrsoft account.  (have you tried logging in to skype using your microsoft account)?

  • Verification for Itunes Account

    I recently tried to to set up an Itunes account. However, I have not recieved the verification email. I have tried resending it several times, but have hot received it yet. WHat should i do?

    Apple requires each Apple ID be associated with a different email address. Perhaps that is why you haven't received the email. Or you received the email and it is in your Junk Mail folder.
