February 6, 2024 was Safer Internet Day! We know that multi-factor authentication -- all those verification codes and Face ID scans can feel inconvenient -- but they are the best way to prevent fraud, malware, and other online risks. Check out these graphics to learn more!
over 1 year ago, CHPS
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is like having a secret handshake to enter your online accounts. It asks for something you know (password) + something you have (phone, security key) or something you are (face scan, fingerprint) to truly verify you're the owner.
How well does it work? Implementing MFA can make you 99% less likely to get hacked according to Microsoft
MFA options include passwords, pins, security questions, codes, a smart card, fingerprints, Face ID, and more
You should always use MFA for financial accounts, personal accounts, critical services like work accounts and healthcare portals, and high value accounts like online shopping
We encourage citizens to attend the February 27th School Board Meeting and provide public comment on the 2024-2025 Draft Budget. The meeting begins at 6:30pm at the Tech Center A/V Room.
