It's nice to see
that leading companies in their respective verticals are giving users the
perfect balance between security and user experience by implementing 2FA which
allows us to telesign into our accounts. I know some will claim this make
things more complicated, but the slight inconvenience each time you log in is
worth the confidence of knowing your info is secure. I'm hoping that more companies start to offer
this awesome functionality. This should be a prerequisite to any system that
wants to promote itself as being secure.
yep it should be there "to promote itself (any firm) as being secure"
