What's inside

The full text

  1. 1

    Only approve what you started.

    If you aren't signing in this second, the answer is always Deny.

  2. 2

    Keep getting prompts? That's an attack.

    Scammers send prompt after prompt, hoping you'll tap Approve to make them stop.

  3. 3

    Never read a code to anyone.

    Not to a caller from "IT", "the bank" or "tech support". Real support never asks.

  4. 4

    Match the number.

    If the app asks for a number, it must match the screen in front of you. No screen, no approval.

  5. 5

    Tell IT right away.

    They can change your password and sign the stranger out. It takes minutes.

Why two-step sign-in works

A stolen password alone isn't enough to get in. Your tap is the last lock on the door, so keep it locked.
