    Why you should use 2FA for Synology?

    Synology is a popular platform for network-attached storage (NAS) devices. With the increasing amount of sensitive data being stored on these devices, it's important to take extra precautions to protect your information. That's where 2-factor authentication (2FA) comes in.
     
    
     Enabling 2FA on your Synology device 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 generated by an app like our Authenticator. This means that even if someone manages to steal your login credentials, they won't be able to access your data without also having access to your phone.
     
    
     In addition to enabling 2FA, there are other steps you can take to ensure the security and privacy of your Synology device. Make sure to keep your device's software up to date, use strong passwords, and limit access to your device to only trusted users.
     
    
     By taking these steps, you can rest assured that your data is safe and secure on your Synology device. And with our Authenticator app, enabling 2FA is quick and easy. So why wait? Protect your data today!
