Lifehacker tells how to enable the second layer of protection in the service and protect your account from theft.
Two-factor authentication in a service for creating thematic collections works in much the same way as elsewhere. Each time you try to log into your account, you must additionally enter a short code from an SMS message or use the Authy application notification.
The innovation will be available to all users in the next few weeks. When this happens, go to the Security section of your Pinterest browser settings. There, activate the function "Request a code at the entrance". You can request a backup recovery code right away in case you lose your phone or can't access Authy.
Two-factor authentication works on all types of devices, but is enabled only through the web version of the service.
Also in the "Security" section you can find a list of all devices connected to your account. If you see an unfamiliar smartphone or computer, you can safely delete it.
If Pinterest finds that they are signed in from a new device or location, it will send you an email notification. If it suddenly turns out that your account has been hacked, then you can quickly reset your password.
