FAQ

  • What does it do?
    When you log into your account from a new device your phone will get a prompt, or text message for you to accept or enter.  This prevents anyone but you from logging in, even if you have a very weak password.
  • What are the downsides?
    If you don't have your phone handy to get the code, you don't log in.  However on the flip-side nobody else could also log in as you.
