Protect Your Online Accounts with Two-Factor Authentication
In today's digital age, protecting your online accounts from hackers is crucial. While using strong, unique passwords is important, it's not always enough. That's where two-factor authentication (2FA) comes in. Full post on KTLA
Things to know:
2FA adds an extra layer of security to your accounts.
Even if a hacker obtains your password, they still need a secondary code to log in.
This code is often sent via text message, but using a dedicated 2FA app is more secure.
Popular 2FA apps include Duo Mobile and 2FAS.
While setting up 2FA might take some time and slightly increase login duration, the added protection is well worth it. Security experts recommend enabling 2FA, especially for important accounts like email, banking, and social media.
Remember: If your password is the door handle, think of 2FA as the deadbolt for your online accounts.
