Sometimes in life, you come across a Life Hack that just leaves you stunned with how easy it is and why haven’t I adopted or used this before now? MFA or 2FA is one such Life Hack for cybersecurity that everyone needs to learn and adopt for all their online accounts. MFA or 2FA is using a second factor beside your password, to identify yourself to a SaaS application. It prevents hackers from stealing our accounts when they possess our passwords through a breach of some 3rd party website.
In addition to MFA/2FA, you should also adopt a password manager as soon as humanly possible. This is a second Life Hack that you’ll be glad you adopted mere weeks after learning how to use these two tools. Take home message: Adopt MFA / 2FA and a Password Manager as soon as possible to protect yourself online. You’ll be so happy you did!
