Why you should use 2FA for McGill University?

McGill University is a prestigious institution that values the security and privacy of its students and faculty. One way to ensure this is by enabling 2-factor authentication (2FA) on your McGill account. 
 

 2FA adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring a second form of verification, such as a code sent to your phone or a fingerprint scan. This makes it much harder for hackers to gain access to your account, even if they have your password. 
 

 Enabling 2FA on your McGill account is easy and can be done through the McGill IT Services website. Once enabled, you'll be prompted to enter a code every time you log in, adding an extra layer of protection to your personal information. 
 

 In addition to enabling 2FA, there are other security and privacy tips you can follow to keep your McGill account safe. Make sure to use a strong, unique password and never share it with anyone. Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks when accessing your account, as these can be easily hacked. And always log out of your account when you're finished using it. 
 

 By taking these steps, you can help ensure the security and privacy of your McGill account and personal information.
