The only condition is to use your personal Microsoft account on all these devices.

Here’s how ‘Trusted devices’ works in Windows 10

Trusted devices is a feature introduced when Windows 8 was first released. However, the Trusted devices functionality was modified in Windows 10 and got better. Now, you can add any other device (your phone, tablet, another PC or any other gadget regardless of the OS that is running) to your trusted devices list and use your credentials through your Microsoft account. As you know, the normal steps for connecting to your Microsoft account from different devices are: you need to complete the two-step verification process and afterwards you need to enter the code provided by Microsoft via an app, text message or e-mail. If a secondary authentication solution can’t be used you won’t be able to use your account at all. But, once you are signed in all your credentials will be synchronized. However, even after performing this complex authentication process you might still have to complete additional verification queries – this will happen when you will try to use data marked as extra sensitive such as your credit card number. And this is when the Trusted devices feature will come in handy. After filling out the security verification form you will receive a message saying ‘I sign in frequently on this device. Don’t ask me for a code’. Once this checkbox is enabled and you successfully sign-in to your account, Microsoft will make this particular handset as a trusted device. Shortly, a trusted device will no longer ask for the Microsoft verification code next time you will try to access or use your sensitive / private information. SPONSORED
