Is a password enough to keep you safe? Usually, the answer is NO. 🔐


In this video, we’re breaking down the single most important thing you can do to protect your digital life: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by tech jargon, don’t worry—we’re skipping the "geek speak" and using simple analogies to show you how to lock down your accounts for good.

In this video, you will learn:
