My phone got stolen and Two-Factor Authentication is gone .

Yesterday my phone was snatched at a robot close to our Airport ,sadly I did not back up all my Two-Factor Authentication backup verification methods for the diff-rant applications I have .

I had to learn the hard way to keep all my security backups , and came to the conclusion the best way to store this is actually to print your passwords on a piece of paper and file it away .

So what Happens If I Use Two-Factor Authentication and Lose My Phone? Well i have to get hold of Hitbtc today and see what the process is to get this done and will keep you informed :-)

Don't take backing up your security for granted as it will spare you hours of unnecessary time wasted . Here is a short video explaining 2FA .

You might know all this but I am sure i will not be the only person who did not bother to keep all my password backups . If you have a couple of devices i would suggest you add your authenticater to all of them if one gets lost you still have an extra device that will allow you access . I hope you found this informative and thank you for stopping by,

You'rre welcome. Thanks for following me. 😀 😃 😄 😁 😆 I hope you have a WONDERFUL weekend!

My husband always say he likes something on paper that he can put away as anything can happen and you are lost for a long time.

The security in Crypto Land is just amazing ( a good thing though) , it looks like i am going to have a tough time getting into some of my sites Hitbtc has not even responded to my email I sent them , and yes i have every thing on paper as of from today :-)
