[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Bogus “Amazon” notice?

[Drew King]

I have one suggestion.

Amazon supports 2-factor authentication. I suggest everyone turn it on.

I have it configured to use the Google Authenticator app on my Android 
phone. I'm sure there is something comparable on the iPhone. Apple may 
have one in their app store.

This article covers using an authenticator app.


    How to set up two-factor authentication with an authenticator app
    for your Amazon account:
