Today’s featured tech tip….
Enable Two-Factor Authentication on your Google account
Without a doubt, Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is one of the most effective security measures you can enable on any online account, and for many folks their Google accounts are among the most important of all their accounts.
In a nutshell, 2FA adds an extra extremely high bar a hacker must jump over in order to break into someone else’s account.
Once 2FA has been enabled on an account a hacker will need to have unfettered access to the potential victim’s mobile phone in order to successfully log into the account – even if they know the account’s password.
That’s why I always stress the importance of enabling 2FA on every account that supports it.
With the above in mind, you’ll find instructions for enabling Two-Factor Authentication on your Google account right here.
