- Notes:
  > You might also want to make it as hard as possible for someone to break into your systems. To do this, we highly recommend you use two-factor authentication. This means that if anyone wants to log into their account, they have to then verify their identity by using a second device.
  > 
  > This stops people from being able to log into your systems using nothing more than a login and a password. With 2FA, you add another layer of security that was previously missing.
