Question-of-the-week
Do you use two-factor authentication for your affiliate accounts?
A couple months ago, a few of our affiliate accounts were hacked. Fortunately, we didn't lose any money, but the incidents were a reminder of how important account security really is. In response, we enabled two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever it was supported. That experience made us wonder how common 2FA use is among affiliates. View poll
