if all you use is a password to access your online accounts you're wrong passwords they're relatively unsecure if there was ever a data breach and your passwords were exposed a hacker could easily access your accounts what you need is two factor authentication so think about it like this when you go to an ATM and you insert a debit card that's one factor then when you enter your PIN that's a second factor and together you get two-factor authentication for online accounts that second factor is usually your phone so what will happen is you'll enter your password then the website will send a code to your phone then you go back to the website and you enter that code to access your account some of the more popular websites that offer it our Facebook Google Dropbox Twitter and Yahoo taking a second step to sign-in can definitely feel like a hassle but it's a lot better than having to deal with the hacked account and now you're doing it right
