- staying Zafe together
We invite you to join an online + physical meetups/workshops community with focus on practical IT security to avoid common problems, raise your own efficiency, prevent unnecessary vulnerabilities and potential data loss, as well as protecting you against the damage a databreach or the like may bring to your meticulously earned reputation.
Attention:
Google will start enforcing two-factor authentication ("2FA"/"TOTP"/"SecurityKey") from November 2022.
Important insight..:
- TOTP is an international standard, so you do not need to install "Google Authenticator", but can use any such tool from a variaty of sources, for example the "Yubico Authenticator", "oathtool" (Linux), etc.
- NEVER EVER accept to simply scan a QR code, because then you never get to see its secret code. Always click on "I cannot scan the QR code, and take note (pen and paper..!) of the code that is behind the QR image. This is crucial to eneble you to recover the account in the future in case of loss or malfunction of your phone.
