Two-factor authentication (2FA) allows you to add an extra layer of security to any online account that you use in hopes to make it harder for you to be hacked. Enabling 2FA is as simple as adding your phone number in order to receive a code texted to you to access your account or by just requiring security questions to be answered.
Passwords have been used for a long time and are becoming easier and easier to crack. Many people also use the same password for all of their different accounts, allowing cyber attackers to gain access all of your data very easily. So how should you take advantage of this tool? Go to all of your accounts and go to the settings to find out how you can set up 2FA for that specific account. You can also learn more about the importance of 2FA by clicking here.
