What Is Multifactor Authentication and Why Should I Enable It?

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security to your accounts.

What is MFA?

MFA requires two or more verification factors - something you know (password) and something you have (phone).

Why Enable It?

Even if your password is stolen, attackers can't access your account without the second factor.

How to Enable

Most services offer MFA in security settings - enable it everywhere possible.
