1. 1

   Step 1: Start with your email and your bank

   CISA suggests email accounts, banks, health care and other important accounts first, then every account that offers it.

2. 2

   Step 2: On an iPhone (Apple Account)

   Open Settings, tap your name, tap Sign-In & Security, then Two-Factor Authentication. Enter a trusted phone number and the code you receive.

3. 3

   Step 3: For a Google account (Android, Gmail)

   Open your Google Account, tap Security & sign-in, and under "How you sign in to Google" choose Turn on 2-Step Verification. Follow the steps.

4. 4

   Step 4: Never share a code

   Codes are for you to type, never to read out. Google says it will not call you to verify a code. Anyone who asks for one is a scammer.

Good to know: Other accounts: look in their settings for "two-factor", "two-step" or "multifactor" and turn it on.
