Two-step verification can used with a variety of programs or services, though email is the recommended first implementation.
It’s easier than you think for someone to steal your password. Any of these common actions could put you at risk of having your password stolen:
- Using the same password on more than one site (I used to be guilty of that!)
- Downloading software from the Internet
- Clicking on links in email messages
2-Step Verification can help keep bad guys out, even if they have your password.
The optimal approach for reducing exposure and minimizing risk is leveraging solutions and capabilities that already exist. Make it harder for a hacker to steal or ransom data — and they look for a less protected target!
