What is 2FA?

2FA is the abbreviation of "2-Factor Authentication", which is a vital tool in protecting your online security. This authentication process excels in ensuring you are really you when logging into your sites and platforms.

Think of your password or passcode as the first factor of authentication. If anyone ever got hold of your password, nothing is stopping them from abusing it to get into all your linked profiles and accounts. Introducing a second authentication factor saves the day!

The second authentication factor is often either biometric or a unique security token. Biometric factors are simply a fingerprint or facial scan; very effective because only you have your face and finger. A unique security token is a code that can be sent to you via SMS, email or provided through a separate app. Just like DUO Mobile!

Think of 2FA as a free, one-time investment that buys your internet safety! Don't risk having a hacker exploit your trail.
