Best Multi-Factor Authentication for Apple Safari

How to use two-factor authentication with your Safari browser on any Apple device for better online security

What is two-factor authentication?


Two-factor authentication, or 2FA, is a type of multi-factor authentication and adds an extra layer of security to online accounts by requiring an additional login step. After entering a password to log in, you’ll be asked to provide a security key which can come in the form of a numerical code, barcode, QR code, or other piece of information. Only by providing the right information will you be granted access to the account.

If a password is stolen or leaked online by a hacker and someone else is trying to log in to your account, they won’t be able to without the 2-factor authentication!

Passcode is sent to mobile device

Your chosen authenticator app will generate a unique verification code on-screen as a QR code to scan or numerical code via text message. These tokens will vary across different 2FA apps.

Your mobile device will then prompt you to confirm the unique token. This can be done by scanning the QR code or entering the numerical string sent to your mobile device.

«Mi piace che LastPass sia facile da usare e intuitivo. Si integra bene con tutti i siti Web e posso fare affidamento sulla sua crittografia sicura per proteggere tutti i miei account, sia personali che professionali. Mi consente di organizzare le cartelle, sfruttare la condivisione con altri utenti e tenere a mente solo una password principale per tutto, mentre la protezione offerta dalla crittografia è un vero sollievo.»

Kenny Kolijn

«Uso LastPass sia in azienda che nella vita privata. Mi permette di salvare e condividere le password in totale sicurezza con familiari e colleghi mantenendole in ambienti separati. Inoltre, si occupa volentieri di creare password sicure e casuali al posto mio, evitandomi così di riutilizzare sempre la stessa.»

Erik Eckert

Amministratore di sistema, MPE Engineering Ltd.

«Se trattare i dati delle altre persone fa parte del vostro lavoro, come succede nella mia azienda, allora LastPass è d’obbligo. Lo usiamo per organizzare le credenziali sensibili della clientela e non ci ha mai deluso. Quando vogliamo condividere gli accessi con i fornitori o i membri dei team senza svelarne la password vera e propria, possiamo contare su un livello di sicurezza che ci offre tutta la flessibilità necessaria per farlo.»
