    Projects from account hijacking

    Edited: Jul 01 2020

    Summary: Complex Account passwords are not enough for securing accounts. 2FA is the best option to protect the account from hijacking. I use Google Authenticator and was surprised by its security. On every login you need to put offline code generated on an authenticator app.

    Positive: Google works offline. It takes a few seconds to scan and add a new account. The device can also be changed but you need to scan from an older device.

    Negative: Google Authenticator worked great. The only con I faced is device switching difficulty.
