Don't skip multi-factor authentication, experts warn
INDIANAPOLIS— You can add an extra layer of security to your phone and computer, and it doesn’t cost a thing. Multi-factor authentication is an extra step you can take after you’ve entered your username and password. Typically, you can request a code via text message, phone call, email or an authenticator app. Eva Velasquez, CEO […] Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an extra security measure after entering a user's username and password, and can be added to the user's account if necessary. Many websites and apps require MFA, but it is optional on many sites. Eva Velasquez, CEO at the Identity Theft Resource Center, recommends enabling MFA on all accounts that offer it, particularly for banking, email, healthcare portals and social media. The biggest caveat is not sharing the code with anyone. Avoid using text messages for MFA as phone numbers can be hijacked through SIM-swapping. Instead, use authenticator apps or hardware keys for stronger protection.
