How-To: Google Authenticator: Guide to Setup, Backup, and Safe Usage

What is Google Authenticator? Google Authenticator is a free security app from Google that provides two-factor authentication (2FA) codes. Instead of just entering a password, you’ll also need to input a time-based code from the app. This extra step greatly reduces the risk of your account being hacked, even if someone knows your password. Unlike SMS codes, which can be intercepted, Google Authenticator works offline and generates unique codes every 30 seconds directly on your device. Why Use Google Authenticator? Stronger security: Protects against password leaks or phishing. Offline usage: Works without mobile data or Wi-Fi. Multi-account support: You can store codes for multiple accounts (Google, Facebook, Instagram, banking apps, etc.). Free and lightweight: No subscription fees, minimal storage needed. How to Set Up Google Authenticator Step 1: Install the App Download Google Authenticator from:  Google Play Store (Android) Apple App Store (iOS) Step 2: Enable 2FA on Your Acco...

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It is the standard technology to keep an internet connection secure, safeguarding any sensitive data that is being sent between two systems, can be server to server or a server and a client, preventing criminals from reading and modifying any information transferred. SSL uses encryption algorithms to scramble data in transit, makes sure that any data transferred between users and sites, or between two systems remain impossible to read, preventing hackers from reading it as it is sent over the connection. TLS (Transport Layer Security) is an updated, more secure, version of SSL. Not only is TLS more secure and performant, most modern web browsers no longer support SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0. While SSL is still the dominant term on the Internet, most people really mean TLS when they say SSL. HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) appears in the URL when a website is secured by an SSL certificate. The details of the certificate, including the issuing aut...
