Two-Factor Authentication

A second step that stops most stolen-password attacks cold.

  • 1

    Something you know (password) plus something you have (a code or device).

  • 2

    Authenticator apps and passkeys are safer than SMS codes, which can be intercepted.

  • 3

    Never read a verification code aloud to a caller — real institutions never ask.
