Clear, jargon-free explainers on two-factor authentication, encryption, and protecting your accounts — written by the people building Moat.
The shared secret, HMAC-SHA1, dynamic truncation and clock drift — explained without the hand-waving.
SIM swapping, SS7 interception and phishing make text codes the weakest second factor. Here's the safer path.
“Encrypted” isn't one thing. Here's the difference between holding the keys and genuinely not being able to read your data.
What to set up before — and do after — your phone goes missing, so a lost device never means a lockout.
The three factors, the types of 2FA ranked by safety, and how to set it up in about a minute per account.
The six-point checklist that matters in any authenticator — and how to move every account over in one scan.
The pre-flight checklist and transfer steps that make switching phones painless — without a lockout.
Passkeys replace passwords; 2FA strengthens them. Where each wins, and why most people will run both.
Put what you've learned into practice. Free to start, encrypted on your device, yours alone.
