How can I make my Vanbreda app extra secure? (Two-step authentication)
Your medical data are protected in your app through a login and a PIN, fingerprint or face recognition.
We recommend always choosing a strong and unique password and updating it regularly. This will keep your data protected. (see also: Use long passwords | Safeonweb)
