Cyber Security Tip #7: Double Up Your Security with 2FA!

Think of your password as the front door key to your account. Now, imagine adding a super cool security guard (that’s 2FA) who checks your ID before letting you in. This extra layer of security makes sure only you can access your account.2FA, or two-factor authentication, is like a bouncer for your online accounts. After you enter your password, 2FA steps in and asks you to prove it’s really you. Usually, it does this by sending a code to your phone via text or your Microsoft Authenticator app. Just enter the code, and you’re in!Incase a hacker enters your correct password they will not be able to access your account as the authentication will be sent to your phone so be careful what you authenticate. If you did not initiate the authentication do not accept the notification on your Microsoft authenticator. So, always use 2FA to keep your accounts safe and sound. It’s like wrapping your digital life in a cozy, secure blanket!
