Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): what is 2FA and how it can stop someone from stealing your identity

Everything you need to know about Two-Factor Authentication and why using it for UC&C services

Push Notification

Today we use online services to shop, to collaborate, to meet new people and to keep in touch with friends. Many of these online services contain and store private information, such as user personal data, contact lists, credit card credentials, patient information etc.

However we all know that breaking into the system, in many cases, is just a question of time. Your password can be stolen or hacked every now and then.
