Boots has announced a major change to the way it does online shopping and it will affect every customer. The beauty and pharmaceuticals giant has introduced extra security measures saying it wants to ensure people's personal information is kept safe.
From today people shopping at Boots can set up two-factor authentication but it will soon be compulsory. This means before anyone can shop they will have to use two separate forms of identification rather than just their email/username and password.
In an email to customers it said: "To ensure that your personal details are kept safe, we are adding an extra layer of security to your boots.com account. This is known as Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). You have probably set up something similar on other websites you have visited. In a couple of weeks you will be required to set this up, but you can switch this extra layer of security on now."
