#two-step authentication

Do you use SMS for two-factor authentication? Don't.

Do 2FA the right way to keep hackers at bay.

Here's a reminder that you shouldn't use SMS text-based two-factor authentication.

App-based 2FA is far more secure, and it's instant too. If you're on a site that supports passkeys, those are even better!

[tumblr] offers both app-based and SMS text-based 2FA. If you're still on SMS, click the edit pencil icon next to "Two-factor authentication" in your Account Settings to switch on "Generate code via authenticator app" and switch off "Send code via SMS." And don't forget to save your backup codes!

If you don't have a smartphone that supports authenticator apps, SMS text-based 2FA is better than nothing, but do make that switch as soon as you can.
