Two-Factor Authentication on LinkedIn Now that you know how to make accounts on other services more secure, let’s enable the feature for LinkedIn. Start by logging in to your LinkedIn account. Instructor Two factor authentication is nota popular option,but it is, without a doubt, the most secure optionfor protecting your data.The two factors are often thought of assomething you. From your Apple ID page, tap Password & Security and then tap Turn On Two-Factor Authentication. On a Mac, you can enable it by going to System Preferences iCloud Account Details Security. It will redirect you to the settings page. Now, move to the Privacy section; scroll down to bottom and locate Security. Now click on “Change” label in front of the Two-step verification option. And it will ask you to turn on this feature. Turn on the Two-Step verification and it will ask you to enter the account password.

If you’re on LinkedIn, you probably saw posts circling the Internet in various outlets about the stolen LinkedIn credentials. Whether you had LinkedIn in 2012 or not, here are two steps you can take to protect yourself going forward:

1. Login and change your password
2. Turn on Two-factor authentication

“What is… Two-what??,” you might be asking. The fact that you’re wondering is a good thing. Basically, when you login to your account with your username and password, LinkedIn will send a code to your mobile device, which you also enter on the website. The code is valid for a set period of time, usually 60 seconds or less. This allows heightened security; if bad guys have your credentials, they cannot login as you, because they will also need the code delivered to the device. In geek speak, this is logging in using both something that you know (your password), and something you possess (the single-use code). Hence the name: two-factor authentication.
Google did a great job explaining this a few years ago, when setting up two-factor for Google accounts. Watch that video here.

Now that you have a great understanding of what two-factor is, here are some links that show exactly how to turn it on in your LinkedIn account. This took me less than five minutes, and it even worked seamlessly on a mobile device. Be safe!

Two-factor authentication is an extra layer of protection for your 1Password account. When turned on, a second factor will be required to sign in to your account on a new device, in addition to your Master Password and Secret Key.

Get an authenticator app

Before you can use two-factor authentication with your 1Password account, you’ll need to install an authenticator app on your mobile device:

Although 1Password can be used to store one-time passwords for other services where you use two-factor authentication, it’s important to use a different authenticator app to store the authentication codes for your 1Password account. Storing them in 1Password would be like putting the key to a safe inside the safe itself.

Set up two-factor authentication

To turn on two-factor authentication:

1. Sign in to your account on 1Password.com.
2. Click your name in the top right and choose My Profile.
3. Click More Actions > Manage Two-Factor Authentication.
4. Click Set Up App. You’ll see a square barcode (QR code).

   To save a backup of your two-factor authentication code, write down the 16-character secret next to the QR code and store it somewhere safe, like with your passport and Emergency Kit.

5. On your mobile device, open your authenticator app and use it to scan the QR code. After you scan the QR code, you’ll see a six-digit authentication code.
6. On 1Password.com, click Next. Enter the six-digit authentication code, then click Confirm.

Your 1Password account is now protected by two-factor authentication. To continue using your account on other devices or to sign in to it on a new device, you’ll need to enter a six-digit authentication code from your authenticator app.

Tip

If you have a U2F security key, like YubiKey or Titan, you can use it as a second factor with your 1Password account.

View and manage authorized devices

To view your authorized devices, sign in to your account on 1Password.com. Then click your name in the top right and choose My Profile.

To manage an authorized device, clicknext to it. You’ll find these options:

• Deauthorize Device: Your account will be removed from the device.
• Require 2FA on Next Sign-in: Your account will remain on the device, but changes you make on other devices won’t appear until you reauthorize using a second factor.

Manage two-factor authentication for your team

With 1Password Business, you can manage two-factor authentication for your team if:

• you’re a team administrator or owner
• you belong to a group that has the “Manage Settings” permission

To manage two-factor authentication for your team, click Security in the sidebar and choose “Two-Factor Authentication”. Then you can:

• Allow security keys in addition to an authenticator app.
• Enforce two-factor authentication for everyone on your team.*
• Use Duo, a third-party option that’s automatically enforced.
• Turn off two-factor authentication completely.

* To enforce two-factor authentication, your Master Password policy must be set to Strong. Your team will need to set up two-factor authentication when they sign up, sign in, or unlock 1Password. Create a team report to see who uses two-factor authentication.
