It is no coincidence that the Internet has many tips, how to protect your account from hacking, and perhaps the most popular of them - use complex passwords and regularly change them. This, of course, is not bad, but constantly memorizing new complex passwords is quite tedious. Especially for those who worry about the security of their account, Yandex launched a beta version of two-factor authentication. With her key from your account will be only in your hands. More precisely, in your smartphone. When authorized on Yandex - or on any other site - you enter your username and password. The system checks whether the password matches the login and admits you if everything is in order. But the password is just one check factor. There are systems that one factor is not enough. In addition to the password, they require, for example, a special code sent to SMS, or a USB key that needs to be inserted into the computer. These systems use two-factor or multifactor authentication. For your two-factor authentication scheme, we have created Yandex. Welch - Mobile application for iOS and Android. It is sufficient to consider the QR code application on the main page of the Yandex, in the passport or in the authorization field - and you will find yourself in your account. To use the key, you need to enable two-factor authentication, install the application and bind it to your account. Then you specify a four-digit PIN application. This code will become one of the factors, part of the "Secret", on the basis of which the algorithm will create disposable passwords. The second factor is stored in the smartphone. When you will further read in the form of authorization of the QR code, the application will send your login and one-time password to Yandex servers. The server will check them and give the page to the team to let or not let you inside. When to count the QR code does not work, for example, the smartphone camera does not work or there is no Internet access, you can enter a one-time password manually. Password entry in this case replaces the reading of the QR code - the difference is only that the password is not sent to the server automatically, instead you enter it in the form of authorization along with the login. Disposable password is only 30 seconds. This is done so that it cannot be stealing from your computer (for example, using a password-entered passwords entered into the browser). Nobody besides you will be able to use the key to enter your account, because when generating passwords, the key uses a PIN code that you invented. Without the right PIN code, the application will create incorrect passwords that will not suit your account. If you have a smartphone or tablet from Apple with Touch ID, then instead of a pin-code you can use a fingerprint. The two-factor authentication mechanism is another tool that will help make the work of Yandex users on the Internet more secure. If you need an additional protection of your account - it's time to close it on Yandex. Welcome.

For a start, we enter the main account of Yandex, if it is. If it is not yet, you can always create, after easy registration.
