BREACHED! Start using Two-factor Authentication TODAY

Humane Tech:BREACHED! Start using Two-factor Authentication TODAY

A lot of my clients started working with me immediately after they were breached, compromised, or otherwise hurt by someone. Being on the clean-up side of these incidents is awful. Everyone is worried, mad, scared, and/or horrified. Let's make it harder for criminals to hurt us!

If a website will only provide you with a two-factor authentication (2FA) code via text or email, fine. Do that.

For any site that allows you to use an app, please strongly consider using Authy. It's works well and it's free. I use it. Don't worry if a site says they only use Google Authenticator, Authy is a 100% compatible replacement for Google Authenticator but it's not owned by Google.

  • Authy - https://authy.com/ - Use it just about anywhere including sites that say they're only offering Google Authenticator.

About the Podcast

Humane Tech
It's not too late for a humane approach to privacy and technology
Too often we work at the pleasure of technology. This is backwards. Technology should serve our needs and support our humanity. Instead, we can use tools to translate our desires into the language that technology requires. You aren’t alone in this…I will be your guide. Together, we'll protect our personal privacy, security, and get better use of technology.
