Look for and turn on MFA It may be called two-factor authentication, two-step authentication or similar. 3. Confirm Select which MFA method to use from the options provided by each account or app. Examples are: * Receiving a numeric code by text or email * Using an authenticator app: These phone apps generate a new code every 30 seconds. Use this code to complete logging in. * Biometrics: This uses our facial recognition or fingerprints to confirm our identities. Now that we’ve set up MFA, when we log into our accounts, it may challenge us to complete the MFA step that proves our identities. It only takes a moment but makes us much safer from hackers! Turn on MFA for every account or app that offers it. Enabling MFA will protect things like: * Banking information * Online purchases * Social media * Email * Businesses * Your identity PRO TIP Check to see whether your email accounts, banks, healthcare providers, and other important accounts offer MFA and enable it by default. If they don’t, ask them why not. It’s your information they’re putting at risk!
