Secure Your SaneBox with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
At SaneBox, we strongly recommend enabling 2FA (two-factor authentication) for your account. It adds an extra layer of protection beyond just a password, making it much harder for hackers to gain access.
Why 2FA is Essential:
- Stronger Than Passwords Alone: While strong passwords are important, 2FA adds another step, making it significantly harder for hackers to break into your account even if they guess your password.
Why SMS Verification is Risky:
We recommend using an authenticator app instead of SMS verification for your 2FA method. Here’s why:
- Vulnerability to SIM Swapping: Hackers can potentially trick your phone carrier into switching your phone number to a new SIM card, allowing them to intercept any SMS verification codes sent to your phone.
- SS7 Protocol Exploitation: Hackers can exploit weaknesses in the technology behind SMS to reroute verification codes to their devices.
The Best Choice: Authenticator Apps:
Authenticator apps like Google Authenticator or the one built into 1Password offer a more secure solution. These generate unique codes on your phone, eliminating the reliance on SMS and its vulnerabilities.
