    Hey guys! Since there has been a lot of focus on the Discord recently and many new members are joining, it's essential that you stay safe whilst using the platform!
    The internet is a scary place, and safety is key. One of the ways you can stay safe is by enabling a handy tool called "2 Factor Authentication"

    What is 2 Factor Authentication?
    Two factor authentication is an authentication method in which a computer user is granted access only after successfully presenting two or more pieces of evidence to an authentication mechanism, meaning the system requires more than just a password!

    Since technology can be hard, I've simplified the method of enabling this tool down to 7 simple steps to enable you to stay safe on Discord.

    And you're done!

    I recommend that everyone activates 2 Factor Authentication on their Discord Account as there has been a spike in compromises within other communities - stay safe :)
