2 Factor Authentication (2FA) You need it for everything, but what is it? 2 Factor Authentication involves using more than "Just a password." Ideally you will use something like google Authenticator. You should be using this on everything from email to Facebook and all social media platforms in between. I know its a hassle, but well worth it. Once you get used to it, it will be part of your routine.

I remember growing up our doors to the house were never locked. One day I came home from School and the door was locked, I'm going to date myself here, but its that important! I had to walk back to the school and call my mom from the school phone. Come to find out there was some suspicious activity on the news and my parents locked the door.

Now days, everyone locks their door (even on cars!) We dont think twice about it now, but in the early eighties it was painful! Please consider using one of the apps below (both Apple and Android) or feel free to give us a call to help you save your business! 361-232-4646
