Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a required second step, typically a code from a text message or smartphone app, that you enter after your login and password to verify your identity. It’s an important tactic to secure your accounts because even a strong password can be broken by a diligent cyber attacker. Many websites today offer 2FA – it can usually be set up and updated in your profile using privacy or account settings.
Defendify Tip: Turn on 2FA on your accounts wherever possible. You can search for websites and services that offer 2FA and find instructions to activate the feature at www.turnon2fa.com.
