Discussion on the safest way to purchase online and what two factor authentication means. (slide 11)


Ask the student to visit the Dunnes Stores website, choose an item to add to the basket, proceed to the secure checkout. At this point, they will be asked to sign in or create an account. They will create an account (if they don’t already have one with Dunnes) or sign in if they do have an account. They may also sign in as a guest and comparisons can be made to the two different types of sign-in.
