What is 2FA?

Enhance Your Security with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

In today’s digital age, safeguarding personal and sensitive information is more critical than ever. At Digital Background, we prioritize your security by offering robust solutions, including Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). But what exactly is 2FA, and why should you enable it for your DBS criminal record checks? Let’s dive in.

What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is an additional layer of security used to ensure that people trying to gain access to an online account are who they say they are. First, a user will enter their username and a password. Then, instead of immediately gaining access, they will be required to provide another piece of information. This second factor could come from one of the following categories:

  1. Something you know: A second password or a PIN.
  2. Something you have: A smartphone or a hardware token.
  3. Something you are: Biometrics like fingerprints or voice recognition.

At Digital Background, we support both Google and Microsoft authenticators, which can be easily set up in your account.

Why is 2FA Important?

  1. Enhanced Security: Passwords alone are often not enough to protect your accounts. They can be stolen, guessed, or hacked. 2FA adds an extra layer of defence, making it significantly harder for unauthorized users to gain access.

  2. Protection Against Phishing: Even if a hacker manages to obtain your password through phishing, they would still need the second factor to access your account. This drastically reduces the risk of unauthorized access.

  3. Compliance and Trust: Using 2FA can help meet regulatory requirements and build trust with your clients. It shows that you are committed to protecting their sensitive information.

  4. Peace of Mind: Knowing that your account has an extra layer of security can provide peace of mind. You can be confident that your data is safe, even if your password is compromised.
