Windows Azure 2 step verification process

Question

After reading about Mr. Honan's digital life being destroyed: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/08/apple-amazon-mat-honan-hacking/all/, I started thinking about the login security of Windows Live and Windows Azure. Is there any kind of 2 step verification that can be applied to windows live/azure? Google's 2 step verification is great and this would be ideal, but I couldn't find anything on this topic.

If not, are there any plans to add this feature? The way it is set up right now, someone that figured out a user's password could do some severe damage.

Thanks,

Andrew Petersen

Hi Andrew,

   There is an suggestion in mygreatwindowsazureidea portal similar to yours (but not exactly the same one)

Probably you can add your idea to the below link to make Microsoft think about it.
