Many major websites like eBay and Facebook
have been hacked as well as some of the biggest gaming sites,
including Fortnite and town of Salem.
So what does this mean to you.
Chances are your username and password
have already been stolen.
And if you're using the same password for different websites
then all of your accounts are at risk.
One of the most effective ways to protect your accounts
is to use two factor authentication.
It's basically when a website or app sends you
a code to your phone when you're trying to log in.
The idea is that a password is not enough to ensure that you.
Are you using two factor authentication prevents hackers
from accessing your account remotely.
Even if they know your password because they don't have access
to your phone many websites and apps
offer two factor authentication.
However, by default, it is turned off.
Usually this setting is found in your profile or account
settings under Security or privacy.
Go ahead and turn it on.
And don't forget to avoid reusing the same password
for all accounts.
