SB089 Does not share MFA codes

Doesn't share MFA codes (including verfication codes and OTPs) with other people, preventing them from accessing the secured accounts


Why is it important?

MFA codes are the unique identifier providing the additional layer of security for your accounts. Keeping these codes private stops unauthorised access to accounts.
