Increasingly, people find themselves in situations where their social media account is “hacked” because their password got into the hands of strangers. 

Most often, this happens because the password has been "spoofed" fraudulently or because the user is careless when using the Internet and smart devices. Unfortunately, passwords are not enough today; additional protection is needed to protect your account and ensure that it cannot be accessed by unauthorised persons.

WHAT IS TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (2FA)?
It is double security. When you log in to your account online, you usually use a username and password. For extra security, you should set a “two-factor authentication” (2FA, 2-step verification 2SV or two-layer verification 2LV).

HOW DOES IT WORK?
When you log in to your social network account, you will also use a special security code, which will be temporary, that you will obtain from the app or be sent to your phone as a text message. Even if someone knows your password, they will still not be able to access your account because the security code will be sent to your phone.
