The keys to your account

Nina wants to protect two accounts. The mission is to choose safe habits without typing a real password.

Learning paths7 min

Let's discover together

  1. 1

    Use long, different passwords for each service. A password manager can create and store them.

  2. 2

    Multifactor authentication combines different kinds of proof, such as a password and an authenticator app. Two passwords are still the same kind of factor.

  3. 3

    Never share codes or approve sign-in requests you did not initiate. Multifactor authentication reduces risk but does not eliminate every scam.

  4. 4

    Where a service supports them, learn about passkeys: cryptographic credentials tied to the site, used with device unlock or a security key. They resist fake login pages; typed codes can be captured by scams. Check recovery options and protect both the device and the account that syncs your passkeys.
