Estateguru reveals that they have now added Google Authenticator, which should help with providing additional security for clients’ accounts.
As noted in a blog post by Estateguru, cybercrime is on the rise “in the digital age, and the days when a simple password was enough to keep your accounts completely safe are long behind us.”
As user security is of great importance to them, Estateguru recently “incorporated Google Authenticator into their security protocols.”
Google authenticator allows “for more secure and faster access to your account, and is an improvement on two-factor authentication via sms.”
Estateguru says that they “highly recommend you enable it.”
Once enabled, Google Authenticator will “generate a unique code, which you will need to enter during the login process.” The app will generate the code “even when offline, ensuring your account is secure and accessible at all times.”
Using Google Authenticator on Estateguru is “straightforward and secure. For other transactions needing additional verification, both the site and your app will produce a time-limited, six-digit code, which you will need to enter on the site in order to login or complete certain transactions.”
Google Authenticator is more secure than SMS, which “is susceptible to hacking and telecom vulnerabilities. The app’s codes are independent of your phone number and network, offering secure access anywhere, even when you are not connected to the internet.”
You can download the Google Authenticator app “from the App Store or Google Play Store, or via your Estateguru account.”
Estateguru also mentioned that they “highly recommend the Google Authenticator app, for faster and more secure access to your account.”
If you are unable to use Google Authenticator, or would rather not, you can also “use Duo Mobile on the platform.”
It may require a bit more time and effort to secure our online investing accounts, however, it is definitely worth it considering the large number of hacking attempts, security breaches, and other types of abusive online activities.
