Enable 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) Everywhere It's Available!

Yes, it's a bit of an extra inconvenience.

But, that inconvenience may save the account and any data associated with it from being hijacked!

As an example, after logging into my Microsoft ID and heading into the Security section I can check and see if there is anything out of the ordinary.

And, low and behold what do I find? That I've attempted to log on from some interesting places!

image2FA is enabled on this Microsoft ID and all others. Amazon, Blogger, Microsoft,and any other that offer 2FA has it enabled.

There's absolutely no way in this day and age that it should not be used.

Thanks for reading. :)
