    Why you should use 2FA for Prey?

    Prey is a powerful anti-theft software that helps you track and recover your lost or stolen devices. But did you know that Prey also supports two-factor authentication (2FA)? Enabling 2FA on your Prey account adds an extra layer of security to your data and helps prevent unauthorized access.
     
    
     With 2FA, you'll need to enter a unique code in addition to your password when logging in to your Prey account. This code is generated by an app like our Authenticator, which means that even if someone manages to steal your password, they won't be able to access your account without the code.
     
    
     Enabling 2FA is a simple and effective way to protect your personal information and keep your devices secure. It's especially important if you use Prey to track sensitive data like financial information or personal documents.
     
    
     At our Authenticator, we take security and privacy seriously. Our app uses industry-standard encryption to protect your data and never stores any of your information on our servers. We also recommend using a strong, unique password for your Prey account and enabling other security features like device encryption and remote wipe.
     
    
     In summary, enabling 2FA on your Prey account is a smart and easy way to add an extra layer of security to your data. With our Authenticator app, you can generate unique codes quickly and easily, giving you peace of mind knowing that your information is safe and secure.
