HOW TO: Microsoft Two-Factor Authentication

I recently wrote a post about the value of two-factor authentication. Two-step authentication helps protect you by making it more difficult for someone else to sign in to your online accounts. Even if a hacker successfully phishes for your credentials (username and password), they still won't be able to access your account without access to your smartphone and/or other second factor item (e.g. security key).  Now that you have been convinced that you want to use two-factor authentication to help keep your online accounts safe, how do you set it up.
