Having implemented Google reCAPTCHA, it's now even harder for anyone to try and brute-force their way into your account - and don't worry, it comes at no expense to the user-friendlyness of our login page; you won't ever be asked to&nbsp;<em>\"click the street lights\"&nbsp;<\/em>or&nbsp;<em>\"click on images containing a bus\"<\/em> - it's the non-annoying version of reCAPTCHA, that just silently helps to keep you safe.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>a few dozen behind-the-scenes updates<br><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>2-factor authentication support for our iOS and Android app will be released later today or over the coming few days; the app should still be usable if you've enabled 2FA, just won't ask you for a code yet<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How can I make my account safer?<\/strong><br>At the SimplyPrint office, we do all we can to keep your account safe, but often the weakest link is sadly the individual user's login info; your email and password combination. To make sure you have an account that is as safe as possible, check out the following guidelines;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Have a secure email account<\/strong><br>Your email is the easiest way in to pretty much any account you have on the internet; use a unique and safe password for your email, preferably with <strong>at least 8 characters, at least one special character, number and capital letter.<\/strong><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use 2-factor authentication whenever possible<br><\/strong>And now that it's possible on SimplyPrint; <a href=\"https:\/\/simplyprint.io\/panel\/user_settings#security\">enable it<\/a>!
