Use Dropbox? If so, then you’ve probably heard by now of the recent security breach over at Dropbox central.
Scary, right? Given how Dropbox has become an indispensable tool nowadays, plus its new auto photo upload, I can’t blame you if you cringe at the thought of someone hacking into your Dropbox account.
Thankfully, Dropbox isn’t wasting any time in beefing up their security. They’ve now made a two-step verification process available to all Dropbox who wish to make their accounts more secure. The two-step process is composed of logging-in to Dropbox the traditional way – entering your username and password – and using a password sent to your mobile phone.
Alternately, you can also use a mobile app, such as Google Authenticator (Android/iOS/BlackBerry), Amazon AWS MFA (Android), and Authenticator (Windows Phone), to generate a code for you. This is recommended if you’re out of the country or constantly on the go, since this isn’t dependent on cellular coverage.
Aching to give this a go?
Then log-in to your account, head on to Settings, then to Security, scroll down and click on Change beside the Disabled status of Two-step verification to be on your way to living the more secured Dropbox-drive life.
