# RDP with a Microsoft Account

Windows allows you to log in with only your Microsoft account email and your Microsoft Authenticator app. If you then want to RDP to this computer with the same Microsoft account your password will not be cached locally. 

To add it to the cache, follow the below steps:

1. Open a new terminal window
2. Enter the command `runas /u:MicrosoftAccount\[my account] cmd.exe`
3. You can now use your email and Microsoft password to RDP to the computer.
