- Yes! It's much more secure than just a password

- Of course! There are two ways. And the first is to use two-step authentication wherever possible.

- Is it when you present a password, and you receive an SMS with a code? And the second step is entering the code?


- I know. But sometimes, as far as I understand, the SMS arrives late, and that's inconvenient, right?

— Of course! But there are two more ways to do this. The first is to install a one-time password generator on your smartphone, and the second is to print out about ten codes from the site in advance, and then print out the next 10.

— However, there is another way. When you log into your mail site, you indicate that you are working in an untrusted environment. For example, on someone else's PC. In this case, you can enter only the second part of the password. Without the first at all. And since it changes every 30 seconds, let them intercept this information. This is called OTP (One Time Password).

— Great. But what if the mail client doesn’t understand two-step authentication?

— Actually, this is not scary either. You can generate a pakistan whatsapp data for this application in advance. Even if it is intercepted, it will only work on this PC and only in this application. And after working in an untrusted environment, you just change it. That's it! There is also authentication of your Wi-Fi access point by certificate. Then an attack on the access point will be impossible at all.

- Thank you! I never suspected that there was so much to know.

— You need to know much more. Unfortunately, attacks are improving daily! Study and study, that's what you need! Mr. Green, make it a rule that your information security specialist should regularly train your employees! And study with us at the Academy.

Are you ready for such attacks? Sure?
