2-Step Verification
This week’s topic is 2-Step Verification.
The Tip
It’s easier than you think for someone to steal your password
Any of these common actions could put you at risk of having your password stolen:
- Using the same password on more than one site
- Downloading software from the Internet
- Clicking on links in email messages
2-Step Verification can help keep bad guys out, even if they have your password.
As an added bonus, get a free coffee on UTS when you enable 2-Step Verification. Be fast, supplies of UTS Tim Cards are limited.
