?? The Power of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): A Must-Have for Security
In today’s digital world, passwords alone aren’t enough to protect your accounts. This is where Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) steps in to save the day!
MFA is a security process that requires two or more verification methods. Think of it as using two keys to unlock your door—one might be a password, and the other could be:
1?? A code sent to your phone.
3?? Your fingerprint, face ID, or other biometrics.
For example, when you log in to your email, MFA might ask you to enter a one-time code sent to your phone after typing in your password. Even if a scammer guesses your password, they can’t get in without the second factor!
?? Why does this matter?
Scammers are getting smarter, but MFA can block over 99% of unauthorized login attempts. It’s one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your accounts and personal data.
?? Take action now!
Enable MFA on your bank accounts, social media, email and other accounts today. It’s quick, easy, and makes a huge difference!

2 个月Unfortunately, what this article doesn’t explain is that 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) was invented by AT&T in 1995 and the patent expired in 2015 and then 100 competitors popped out of the woodwork, many with flawed 2FA solutions resulting in breaches like Okta's $115M breach of MGM and Caesars, T-Mobile's $350M breach, and too many others to mention. We all know that 2FA is obsolete and too easy to hack with hundreds of sites on the Dark Net selling credential stealing tools that bypass today’s weak 2-factor solutions.

2 个月Well said Max, I find a good 2FA authenticator app works best for gatekeeping (literally, not figuratively ;) )
