We want our customers to be safe and secure. The risk of malware and ransomware attacks is greater than it has ever been, and it is not a matter of if, but when, you will be targeted and to what extent you will be affected.
What It Is
Two-factor authentication (2FA), also called multi-factor authentication (MFA), adds a second proof of identity when you sign in, such as a code from an app or a prompt on your phone. A stolen password alone is no longer enough to get into your account.
Where to Turn It on First
- Email accounts. Email can be used to reset the passwords for your other accounts.
- Banking and financial accounts, including retirement accounts such as a 401(k).
Key takeawayEnable 2FA on your email and financial accounts. It takes a few minutes and blocks many account takeovers.
