<main> <article class="userContent"> <p> </p>Best practices to increase the security of your My F-Secure account <p>This topic provides information on how to keep your My F-Secure account safe. </p> <p>We take your privacy and your account security seriously. We want to make sure that only you have access to your My F-Secure account. To increase the security of your account, we encourage you to take 2-step verification into use and to use only a strong, unique password for the account. </p> <h3 data-id="enable-2-step-verification-in-my-f-secure">Enable 2-step verification in My F-Secure</h3> <div>2-step verification is a feature that adds an extra layer of security to your My F-Secure account. This additional layer makes sure that no one can log in as you, even if that person has discovered your password. For more information about 2-step verification and instructions on how to take it into use: <ul><li><a rel="nofollow" href="https://help.f-secure.com/product.html#home/total/latest/en/id_87683-total-latest-en">What is 2-step verification in My F-Secure?</a> </li> <li><a rel="nofollow" href="https://help.f-secure.com/product.html#home/total/latest/en/task_EA1B1F672EE944E7AD98DCB370B3A950-total-latest-en">Taking 2-step verification into use in My F-Secure</a> </li> </ul></div> <h3 data-id="create-a-strong-password">Create a strong password</h3> <div>Create a strong, unique password or passphrase that only you know and have access to.
