Have You Enabled Two Factor Authentication (2FA) Yet?

If the answer to the above question is YES, then our response to you is:

“Excellent choice! Now you have extra login protection for your Paxum account!”

If the answer to the above question is NO, then let us show you why you should make Two Factor Authentication happen right now for your Paxum account! It’s super easy to set up!

Two Factor Authentication makes it harder for cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access to your Paxum account.

While the Paxum Login is already secure, requiring customers to use a strong combination of letters, capital letters, numbers, and special characters for their passwords, it is definitely a good thing to be able to reinforce that security with a second layer of protection.

You possibly already use Two Factor Authentication for some of your other accounts like your email and your bank account. Many financial institutions prefer their clients to use Two Factor Authentication as it adds a double layer of account security.
