Help protect your email account from hackers with two step verification. Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook and others have enabled this feature. How this basically works is that whenever your account is accessed from a new computer. You receive a text message on your cellphone with a code that you have to enter in order to login. Just search the help section for “two step verification” with the service you use if they offer this feature. Sometimes the feature goes by a different name but they all basically do the same thing.
