<![CDATA[Turn on 2FA — the 30-second lock that stops most account theft]]>Passwords leak. 2FA (two-factor authentication) is the cheap insurance that makes a leaked password almost useless to a thief.

How it works: after your password, you enter a 6-digit code from an app on your phone. No code, no entry — even if someone has your password.

Do it right:

Use an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password) rather than SMS. SIM-swap attacks can steal SMS codes.
Save the backup codes somewhere safe when you set it up — they get you back in if you lose your phone.
Turn it on for your email too. Your email can reset everything else.

Takes 30 seconds. Blocks the most common way accounts get stolen.
