One of the easiest ways to exponentially increase your digital security is by enabling Two-Factor Authentication, or 2FA. With 2-factor authentication, you need to have two different keys to unlock your account. Enabling 2FA gives you peace of mind knowing that your password is not enough to gain access to your account. Digital Safe Space will teach you how to enable Two-Factor Authentication in a individualized clinic. We will cover the use of 2FA on most major online services (list in formation). If you haven’t yet enabled 2FA on your online services, we urge you to attend this session.
We recommend that all attendees bring a laptop and their primary mobile device.

SMS 2FA Only
If you manage multiple accounts and use the same mobile number for all accounts, you may only use 2FA with one of your accounts.
This is despite no mention of this in documentation. 2FA on other accounts using the same phone will be disabled automatically by the service.
