Why do we have to enable 2-factor authentication?

2-factor authentication drastically reduces the chances of having the personal information in your Google account stolen by someone else. Though an extra step to logging in may feel frustrating, it’s less frustrating than dealing with a compromised account. Requiring an additional authentication method for account access is the next big push for districts to be compliant with cybersecurity risks/best practices. Additionally, the District’s insurance company requires that all staff to enable 2FA on their account.  Optional cyber security modules will be shared with PUSD employees to increase awareness and best practices in protecting their accounts.
