But with organizations bringing measures such as locking an account when three or more attempts have been made, the user gets notified about any attempted security breach.

When applications use phone numbers in their login processes, it can give attackers and hackers an advantage.

Let’s admit it: schools and universities today are not what they used to be back when we were growing up. Digitization has swept over almost every aspect of educational institutions. Classrooms have become “smart”, with blackboards being replaced or supplemented by LED screens. Students can simply log in to portals from where they can access information about grades, access lessons from learning apps, and more.
