Smartphones and tablets don’t like cold weather. When a lithium-ion battery is exposed to low temperatures, it can drain faster than normal or indicate it has ample power remaining and then suddenly go dead. Low temperatures can also make a device’s glass surfaces more sensitive to cracks and breaks, especially if there's already a nick. To protect your devices, don’t leave them for long in a parked car. Instead, take them with you, either in a clothing pocket or insulated bag. In the event your device does shut down, don’t restart it until it’s had time to warm up restarting immediately could actually cause more harm and shorten the battery life.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an extra layer of security that requires two distinct forms of identification to gain access to an online account or computer system. In this context, a factor means a way to convince the account or system that you are who you say you are. In 2FA, the first factor is typically your username/password pair. The second factor may be something you have (such as a text with a time-based code sent to your smartphone or other devices, a smartphone authenticator app) or something you are (biometrics using your fingerprint, face, or retina). Despite the slight inconvenience of a longer log-in process, security experts recommend enabling 2FA wherever possible.
