Friendly reminder to enable 2FA for added security!

[b]What is 2FA?[/b] An extra layer of security that is known as "multi factor authentication" In today's world of increasing digital crime and internet fraud many people will be highly familiar with the importance of online security, logins, usernames and passwords but if you ask them the question "What is Two Factor Authentication?" the likelihood is they will not know what it is or how it works, even though they may use it every single day. With standard security procedures (especially online) only requiring a simple username and password it has become increasingly easy for criminals (either in organised gangs or working alone) to gain access to a user's private data such as personal and financial details and then use that information to commit fraudulent acts, generally of a financial nature. How does it work? Two Factor Authentication, also known as 2FA, two step verification or TFA (as an acronym), is an extra layer of security that is known as "multi factor authentication" that requires not only a password and username but also something that only, and only, that user has on them, i.e. a piece of information only they should know or have immediately to hand - such as a physical token. Using a username and password together with a piece of information that only the user knows makes it harder for potential intruders to gain access and steal that person's personal data or identity. ---- [b]Xbox Users: [/b] https://www.turnon2fa.com/tutorials/how-to-turn-on-2fa-for-xbox-live/ Two-step verification helps protect you by making it more difficult for someone else to sign in to your Xbox Live account. It uses two different forms of identity: your password, and a contact method. Even if someone else finds your password, they'll be stopped if they don't have access to your other devices or accounts.  You set up two-step verification with an email address, phone number, or authenticator app. When you sign in on a new device or from a new location, you will be sent a security code to enter on the sign-in page. If you turn on two-step verification, you’ll get a security code to your email, phone, or authenticator app every time you sign in on a device that isn't trusted. When it’s turned off, you will only have to verify your identity with security codes periodically, when there might be a risk to your account security. ---- [b]PlayStation users: COMING SOON[/b] https://techcrunch.com/2016/04/21/sony-finally-says-its-adding-2fa-to-playstation-network/ http://www.polygon.com/2016/4/20/11470660/psn-two-factor-authentication-playstation-network ---- https://www.bungie.net/7_Deleted-Item-and-Character-Policy/en/Help/Article/12211 Remember, keep your data safe, if you lose your account, it's on you DO NOT SHARE ACCOUNT INFO, [b]BUNGIE WON'T RECOVER YOUR DATA OR ANY OF YOUR DESTINY CHARACTERS OR ITEMS IF THEY GET DELETED[/b]! ---- https://www.bungie.net/7_Account-Security-How-to-keep-your-Destiny-Account-/en/Help/Article/12718 Here is more info on this site about this topic! ---- [spoiler]Have a nice day 🙋[/spoiler] ~[i]TheGreatNike[/i] [spoiler]Moderator edit: This thread has been moved to the #Help forum where you can find answers and troubleshoot any Destiny in-game/bungie.net/companion app issues, courtesy of other helpful players and Mentors.
