In this tutorial, I’all set up Two Step Verification using time-based one-time passwords in 1Password.

If you’re not familiar with it, you should read the introduction to that tutorial before continuing.

In my tutorial on enabling Two-Factor Authentication for iCloud, I went into more detail on what exactly two-factor authentication is.

To eliminate that, the best way is to use an additional factor or step in the verification process. For more details, check out this tutorial on 1Password.ġPassword, however, only helps us use better passwords, it doesn’t solve the problem that anyone who managed to intercept a password or force a password reset could, in theory, hack into some of our most important accounts. We just remember one secure password that we use to unlock an app that automatically generates, stores and fills in secure passwords. With 1Password, we don’t even know the passwords for our online accounts. At Envato Tuts+ we take online security seriously myself and Johnny Winter, the editor of the site, are huge fans of 1Password.

High profile password leaks have demonstrated just how insecure most people’s online accounts are. Online security has become much more important in the last few years.
