Please, nobody take this as an Apple bashing post! Please?
I’m posting to simply point out that there is a major flaw in the way Apple and Amazon are allowing access to accounts that can basically leave you wide open to a hacker’s attack. The details are here on Wired and I’m not intending to discuss the process or the problem.
But… If you use Google’s services there is a way to avoid some of this by building a “roadblock” to your Google account that makes it much harder for a Hacker to get around.
Android Central has a great write up on getting the 2-step process going and you don’t even need an Android phone or device. You don’t even need a phone if you use the printable code sheets!
Check it out and if you have problems or questions, post them and we will try to help!
