October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month

Make it harder for cybercriminals to access your account by enabling multi-factor authentication.

What is multi-factor authentication? 

Multi-factor authentication is sometimes called two-factor authentication or two-step verification, and it is often abbreviated to MFA. No matter what you call it, multi-factor authentication is a cybersecurity measure for an account that requires anyone logging in to prove their identity multiple ways. Typically, you will enter your username, password, and then prove your identity some other way, like with a fingerprint or by responding to a text message.
