We’re all familiar with that pesky little pop-up that appears on log-in screens across the web: “Do you want to enable two-factor authentication on this account?”
Your answer should always be YES!
Even if someone gets your passwords, MFA can keep them from stealing your bank information or other online presence.
MFA (sometimes this is called two-factor authentication, one-time passcode, or a login token) usually involves entering a code sent to your email or phone. Sometimes, online accounts will also take your IP address and location into consideration when it’s time to log in (another “factor”).
Do you have any of the following? If so, check now to see if you have MFA or 2FA activated.
Top Sites/Apps to Enable MFA
– Email Accounts – Business and Personal (this controls access to almost ALL your other accounts)
– Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or other social media
– Online Banking and Credit Card Websites
– Insurance Portals
– Dropbox or Other Digital Storage Services
– Online Tax Preparation Websites
MFA settings are often found in your account information or security settings when you log in and may be labeled “additional security.” If you have any questions, just reply to this email and ask for help.
