You can turn on 2FA for your gmail, your password manager, twitter, facebook, instagram, patreon, amazon. Now, I always recommend turning on 2FA if it's available - and it is available on lots of sites nowadays. This protects you from someone getting into your account if they somehow got access to your password. Online, 2FA means that you log into an account with your normal username and password, but it ALSO requires you to type in a code that gets texted to you, or you type in a code that is in an APP on your phone, or you plug one of these little devices into your device and that triggers the login. You know how when you use an ATM you need to put your card in the ATM them type in your PIN code? That ATM needs two pieces of information from you to give you money - the actual card, and the PIN code that's connected to it. If this is your first 2FA rodeo - it's actually pretty simple. And today, I'm introducing my personal favorite type of 2FA - Yubikeys. Y'all know I'm slightly obsessed with 2 factor authentication and I want everyone in the world to understand why it's so beneficial. The YubiKey 5 Series is a great solution to provide that security.Hey smores, I'm Shannon Morse, welcome to Morse Code.
