Add an extra level of security by enabling multi-factor authentication. With this feature, if someone gains access to your password, you can still have peace of mind knowing that only you can log in.
How multi-factor authentication (MFA) works:
MFA requires users to provide more than just their password, making it difficult for unauthorized individuals to gain access to accounts. This additional step is crucial in safeguarding your information and ensuring the security of your account.
