In today’s world, much of your life is available on the internet and digital devices. You can enjoy the conveniences of anytime access to your vital and recreational apps. Unfortunately, cyber intruders may hijack your accounts for malicious purposes. Here are some key places to set up multi-factor authentication to block such unwanted access.
Bank Accounts
The number one place you should always have extra authentication steps on is your bank account. You can reduce the chances of losing your hard-earned cash with a single extra layer of security.
Social Media Accounts
You may not think your online social media profile is that important, but it is a key part of your digital identity. Stop bad actors from impersonating or stealing your identity with another authentication step.
Email Accounts
Keeping your email account safe is crucial to your online security because it is the point of contact that online entities primarily use to communicate with you. Maintain the security of your email account with a phone number and/or secondary email address.
Although you may not need to set up extra authentication steps for certain apps, you really should do so for important ones such as banking apps. The extra security can go a long way to keeping your identity and resources safe.
