Itโs an unfortunate reality that thereโs an ever-increasing threat of our online credentials being stolen by bad actors ๐ฆนโโ๏ธ, and used to access our online accounts. One of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent this, and to secure your potentially sensitive data, is to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your online accounts. Weโre excited to let you know that you can now enable 2FA on Hotjar.
Up to now, all you needed to access your Hotjar account was an email address and password, but passwords alone can be vulnerable. This is mostly because lots of us have lousy memories and set passwords that are too simple and predictable, or we have too many accounts and end up recycling the same password for all of them. Sound familiar... ? ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your account login by requiring you to enter a one-time password (OTP) generated by an authenticator app on your mobile device. This means that a bad actor would need to know your password and have your mobile device in order to access your account.
Itโs super simple to set up:
