    Why you should use 2FA for Con Edison?

    Con Edison is a utility company that provides electricity and gas to millions of customers in the New York City area. With so much personal and financial information at stake, it's important to take steps to protect your account from unauthorized access. That's where 2-factor authentication comes in.
     
    
     Enabling 2FA on your Con Edison account adds an extra layer of security to your login process. Instead of just entering your username and password, you'll also need to enter a unique code that's generated by an app like Authenticator. This code changes every few seconds, so even if someone manages to steal your password, they won't be able to access your account without the code.
     
    
     In addition to protecting your account from hackers, enabling 2FA can also help you avoid phishing scams. These are fraudulent emails or websites that try to trick you into giving away your login credentials. With 2FA enabled, even if you fall for a phishing scam and enter your password on a fake website, the attacker won't be able to access your account without the unique code.
     
    
     Of course, even with 2FA enabled, it's still important to follow basic security and privacy tips. Make sure your password is strong and unique, and don't share it with anyone. Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks to access your account, as these can be easily intercepted by hackers. And always be on the lookout for suspicious activity on your account, such as unexpected charges or changes to your billing information.
     
    
     Overall, enabling 2-factor authentication is a simple and effective way to protect your Con Edison account from unauthorized access. By taking this extra step, you can have peace of mind knowing that your personal and financial information is safe and secure.
