How do I add a trusted site to Microsoft?

Published in Computer Security 2 mins read

Adding a trusted site in Microsoft can refer to two different actions, depending on the specific context:

1. Adding a Trusted Site in Internet Explorer:

This allows specific websites to access your computer's data and resources. Here's how to do it:

  1. Open Internet Explorer.
  2. Click on the "Tools" menu (the gear icon) and select "Internet options."
  3. Navigate to the "Security" tab.
  4. Select the "Trusted Sites" zone.
  5. Click on the "Sites" button.
  6. Enter the website address you want to trust in the "Add this website to the zone" field.
  7. Click on "Add" and then "OK."

2. Adding a Trusted Site in Microsoft Edge:

This action refers to adding a website to your "Trusted Sites" list, which can be useful for specific security settings or features. While Microsoft Edge doesn't have a dedicated "Trusted Sites" list, you can use the following steps to achieve a similar effect:

  1. Open Microsoft Edge.
  2. Navigate to the website you want to trust.
  3. Click on the "Settings and more" button (the three dots in the top right corner).
  4. Select "Settings."
  5. Go to "Privacy, search, and services."
  6. Under "Permissions," find the specific permission you want to grant the website.
  7. Enable the permission for the website.

For example, you can grant a specific website access to your camera or microphone by enabling the relevant permission.

Remember: Adding a website to a trusted site list should be done with caution. Only trust websites you know and use regularly.
