Secure Access

Logging into websites and apps and using credit cards online can cause issues in accessing these sites and programs.

For travellers 2FA can be an issue especially with sites and apps that use SMS to authenticate a device, because you may no longer have access to SMS messages. One solution is the 2FA key such as Yubico. It is particularly set up to use with social media sites and Google.

Yubikeys in various formats

I have had problems using credit cards overseas that require 2FA. Sometimes it is the popup that comes when making a payment by credit card. The popup asks for additional information like birth date, but I've had this fail when the popup does not return to the homepage of the service or product you are purchasing.
