1. The massive and numerous data breaches over the last few years prove at least one thing: Passwords alone can’t protect you. And as if to remind you that this year will be just as fraught with cybersecurity issues as last year, security researcher Troy Hunt discovered yet another major breach, in which nearly 773 million email addresses and 21 million passwords were exposed.
Before you freak out and (finally) delete your Facebook account, know there’s an easier way to protect yourself—one that only involves a few minutes of preparation for some peace of mind when it comes to your online identity. We’re talking about two-factor authentication, a process in which you input an extra security code after typing in your username and password to prove you’re really you. There are multiple forms of two-factor authentication, but they all serve the same purpose of protecting your accounts from being hacked in case somebody gets their hands on your login info.
You can think of two-factor authentication as the bouncer to your digital lounge, waiting for you to provide a bit of extra information to prove you are who you say you are, be it a number sent to you via text message or a string of characters generated by an app on your smartphone.
Text message, or SMS, authentication is probably the easiest way to build the habit of two-factor authentication, as it doesn’t require you to download anything app-related or walk around with a physical authentication device. You simply log in to the site in question, and it’ll ask you to enter an authentication code—usually a random string of numbers—texted to your phone, and you’re in. A more secure way to use two-factor authentication is with a code-generating smartphone app that’s compatible with the account you want to keep safe. lt can generate codes that change every minute or so, and can only be seen when you have your phone in hand. Some authenticator apps also feature another layer of security, like facial recognition or a fingerprint scan. Many of those apps are also designed to store your list of secured sites and passwords in the same place, protected by a master password. They can also create randomly-generated and therefore hard-to-guess passwords as a further defense against hackers.
Don’t want to use any apps, or even your phone, when it comes to securing your identity? Instead of using an ever-changing code, go with something more physical, and use a hardware token you can clip to your keys. While they exist in various shapes and sizes, they usually resemble a small USB flash drive that plugs into the device you’re using, be it your smartphone or PC, and serves as a form of extra identification.
Want a hardware token? The most popular manufacturer, Yubico, makes the Yubikey, available in the connector of your choice or with support for features like near-field communication (the same tech that powers the tap-to-pay feature found at stores). Google also makes the Titan security key, which gives you two hardware tokens, one to keep with you and one to keep in a safe space in case of emergencies.
过去几年发生的大数据泄露事件至少说明一件事：仅用密码无法保护隐私安全。似乎是为了提醒用户今年的网络安全问题将一如既往地严重。安全研究人员特洛伊.亨特(Troy Hunt)又发现了一起数据泄露事件，近7.73亿个电子邮件地址和2,100万个密码遭泄露。
在你抓狂，并最终删除你的脸书账号之前，要知道有一种更简单的方法可以保护自己。当涉及网络身份安全认证时，只需要几分钟的时间就能让你感到安心，那就是双重身份认证。它指的是在输入用户名和密码后填写额外的验证码，以证明
