You are busy running a campaign and sprinting towards the Midterms. The last thing you want is to let Russians meddle with your candidate or election. So what’s a busy campaign manager to do?

Take two minutes today and learn how to set up second factor authentication (2FA) for your accounts. Then make sure your candidate and staff do it too!

Setting up 2FA can help secure your accounts and ultimately your hard won electoral victories. It only takes a few minutes, typically costs nothing, and doesn’t require you to know how to code. Using second factor authentication can prevent someone who has already gotten your password from logging into your account.

Not sure how to set up 2FA? Ragtag has you covered with the latest installment of our tech guides on the Campaign Helpdesk: How to Set Up Second Factor Authentication.

Think of it like a kale smoothie without the aftertaste.
