At ModernAdvisor, we're always working hard to make sure your investments and personal information are kept secure. While our built-in security protocols play a major role in achieving this, there’s an additional step you can take to enhance your account's protection: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
Why Activate 2FA?
An Extra Layer of Security: Think of 2FA as a second lock on your front door. Even if someone guesses or steals your password (the first lock), they won't be able to access your account without the unique code provided by the second authentication method.
Protects Your Financial Assets: We have safeguards in place that would prohibit an intruder from withdrawing your financial assets, even if they gain access to your online account. By activating 2FA, you add an additional safeguard against unauthorized changes to your investments.
Shield Against Cyber Attacks: Unfortunately, cyber threats are becoming more advanced and frequent. 2FA serves as a deterrent, making it much harder for cybercriminals to gain access to your account and your sensitive personal information.
Peace of Mind: With 2FA, you'll rest easier knowing that even if your password falls into the wrong hands, there's still another barrier between hackers and your valuable data.
