With this type of security, we are asked to provide more information about ourself. This will make it difficult for someone to access any of our online accounts. Secondly, NCSC advised that we use strong and different passwords in each online accounts to which we are registering. This could be random words that will be difficult for the hackers to guess. Add a special character or two and we are good to go using the internet.
