Turn On Multi-factor (2-Factor) Authentication

Your password needs a partner—in the form of 2-factor authentication! With 2-factor authentication (MFA), anyone trying to log in as you must provide two proofs of ID:

  • Something you know, such as your password.
  • Something you have, such as a passcode, a phone, or even a mobile app.

Some systems automatically require two-factor authentication. Optionally, you can add this protection to all your business specific accounts, as well as to many types of personal accounts.

Two-factor goes by many different names—such as two-step verification, login approval, login verification, and so on—but they all protect your information and accounts.
