Using 2FA

  • Two Factor Authentication software and hardware device require a second authentication, once you authenticate with your password to different applications.

  • Google Authenticator is an example of a software 2FA application

  • Yubikey is an example of a hardware 2FA device. This is arguably more secure. However, using either one is better than not using 2FA.

  • Suggestion: Do not use SMS two factor authentication when possible to avoid.

  • With 2FA + Sim Lock, you are greatly decreasing your odds of being attacked or compromised.
