Passwords are the frontline gatekeepers of your online kingdom! But why settle for one line of defense when you can have two? Multifactor authentication (MFA) doubles the security, making your accounts much more fortified.
Boston College requires multifactor authentication (2-Step Verification) for your BC Gmail as well as a number of other services. If you still rely on a text message or phone call for 2-Step Verification, learn why BC ITS highly recommends the Duo Mobile App, bc.edu/2step. Where else in your online life should you use multifactor?
Use multifactor authentication:
- All personal email accounts.
- Accounts with your financial info like banks and online stores.
- Accounts with personal info, like social media and healthcare apps.
- Wherever it is available!
