WEEK 04 – CYBER AWARENESS SERIES

Move Away from SMS — Adopt Authenticator Apps or Passkeys

🚨 Today’s Cyber Security Thought
“SMS is outdated. Authenticator apps and passkeys are safer.”

Many citizens still depend on SMS OTPs for logging into email, banking, social media and other important accounts. However, SMS is no longer the safest method of verification. SMS codes can be misused through SIM-swap fraud, phishing, malware, call forwarding, phone compromise and social engineering.

A safer option is to move towards Authenticator Apps and Passkeys wherever available. Authenticator apps generate time-based codes directly on your device. Passkeys allow passwordless login using device-level security such as PIN, fingerprint or face ID. These methods reduce dependence on SMS and make it much harder for fraudsters to hijack your accounts.

Citizens are advised to take the following steps:

1️⃣ Adopt Authenticator Apps

Install trusted apps like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or Authy. Link important accounts such as email, banking, social media and work accounts to authenticator-based two-factor authentication.

2️⃣ Set Up Passkeys

Wherever available, open account security settings and choose “Add Passkey” or “Create Passkey.” Confirm using PIN, fingerprint or face ID. Once enabled, future logins become safer and easier.

3️⃣ Secure Your Device

A passkey is only as safe as the device it lives on. Keep your phone protected with screen lock, PIN, fingerprint or face lock. Keep your device and apps updated.

4️⃣ Reduce SMS Dependency

Do not rely only on SMS OTPs for critical accounts. Encourage family members, colleagues and institutions to adopt authenticator apps and passkeys for better digital safety.

⚠️ Remember: Fraudsters may steal OTPs, but they cannot easily bypass a properly secured device with authenticator or passkey protection.

✅ Move away from SMS-based login.
✅ Use authenticator apps for important accounts.
✅ Enable passkeys wherever available.
✅ Keep your phone locked and updated.
✅ Never share OTP, PIN, password or recovery codes.

📞 For cyber financial fraud, call 1930 immediately.
🌐 Report online at: cybercrime.gov.in

Two minutes of security setup can save hours of distress. Stay alert, stay secure.
