In today’s digital landscape, passwords are not enough to protect your accounts. You need a stronger layer of security: Multi-Factor Authentication <MFA>
Verification:MFA, adds an extra layer of security beyond just your password. It requires two or more forms of verification to confirm it’s really you.
2FA:
Two-Factor Authentication, or 2FA is the most commonly used form of MFA. It typically involves something you know, like your password, and something you have, like a text message authentication app, or biometrics like your fingerprint or your face.
Enable Everywhere:It’s crucial to enable MFA wherever possible. Start with your email, cloud services, banking, and even social media accounts.
Hacker Resistant:MFA makes it much harder for hackers to access your accounts. Even if they steal your password, they’d still need the second layer of security to get in.
Easy Setup:Enabling MFA is usually straightforward. Simply go to your account’s security settings and follow the steps to add a second verification method.
