As online threats increase, relying solely on a password is no longer safe. This session covers the “what, why, and how” of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). We will explore how single-factor authentication (just a password) to protect yourself online might not be enough. We will also cover the common methods of 2FA, including:
– Mobile apps
– Phone notifications
– TOTP (Time-based One-Time Passwords)
– Hardware security keys
