On Windows 10 PCs, OneDrive syncs your Personal Vault files to a BitLocker-encrypted area of your local hard drive. Just a reminder, Personal Vault is not just 2-factor authenticated folder inside OneDrive. We have a short guide for users who want to set up the new feature on their OneDrive accounts. The rollout is done in phases so it might be a while before everyone gets the new feature.
Starting today, the company is rolling the feature out to users in various regions around the globe.
So, files in the Personal Vault will be protected even when someone gains access to your account or your device.Īt that time, Microsoft said the feature will be available for users in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada soon and will roll out globally by the end of the year.
Personal Vault is a protected area within OneDrive that can be accessed only with a strong authentication method or a second step of identity verification, such as your fingerprint, face, PIN, or a code sent to you via email or SMS. Last month, Microsoft announced a new feature called Personal Vault for OneDrive users.
