The risk of being targeted by cyberattacks through identity theft is greater than ever. The best way to prevent this is by using multi-factor authentication when logging in. Multi-factor authentication provides an extra layer of secure login. In addition to entering your password (the same password you created in Step 1), you must also confirm the login using a one-time code (see the user guide). This prevents others from logging in with your ID even if they know your password.

You must activate multi-factor authentication on your account yourself.
