There are so many financial and budgeting apps available today, like many tech tools and products in our lives, safety and security are all in the fine print. So, it's important to think about what app permissions could compromise you financially, and then to go into the app's settings to turn off those permissions. Also be sure to implement all the privacy and security features that the app has in place to keep your personal information safe.
For example, if you have the option to turn on two-factor or multi-factor authentication, always do so. This means that a PIN code will be sent to your phone to verify your identity before you can perform certain functions. Be sure to use a strong password (a phrase is better than a word) that would be difficult for others to guess. And beware of phishing scams, where a text or email asks you to click on a link and log in to change your password. Instead, open the app on your mobile device and log in at the source.
