    Why you should use 2FA for Citationsy?

    Citationsy is a popular citation management tool that helps researchers and students organize their references and citations. While it's a great tool for managing your research, it's important to keep your account secure. That's where 2-factor authentication comes in.
     
    
     Enabling 2-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your Citationsy account. With 2FA, you'll need to enter a unique code in addition to your password to access your account. This means that even if someone manages to get your password, they won't be able to access your account without the code.
     
    
     To enable 2FA on Citationsy, simply go to your account settings and follow the instructions. You can choose to receive the code via text message or through an authenticator app like ours. We recommend using an authenticator app, as it's more secure than text message codes.
     
    
     In addition to enabling 2FA, there are a few other security and privacy tips you should keep in mind when using Citationsy. First, make sure to use a strong, unique password for your account. Don't reuse passwords across multiple accounts, as this can make it easier for hackers to access your information.
     
    
     Second, be careful when sharing your Citationsy account information with others. Only share your login credentials with trusted individuals, and make sure to revoke access if someone no longer needs it.
     
    
     Finally, keep an eye on your account activity and report any suspicious activity to Citationsy immediately. By taking these steps, you can help keep your Citationsy account secure and protect your research and personal information.
