The author of this article, David Nield, did a wonderful job explaining how users can take advantage of all security features from all major technology platforms. Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, you name it. One of the things that caught my attention is that all of them have one thing in common, two-step verification. I’m sure all of you are aware that two-factor verification is a simple method requiring more than username and a password to successfully log-into an online account.
One the other hand, it looks like not all companies implement similar policies, and sometimes employ distinct ways to protect consumers within their platforms. When I first read the title of the article, I had the impression the author was going to focus on one major way, probably from one central technology platform, to protect all my online accounts. That was not the case. Rather, David wrote about each company separately to explain all features available that consumers can utilize to protect themselves online. Give it a read as there might be certain feature(s) that could be unfamiliar and from which you could enhance your online safety.
