Ring (victory!)

Hello,

Big news! Ring, the company best known for its video doorbell, announced this week that it will now require two factor authentication (2FA), a layer of security that will better protect all users' accounts.

The decision came after two months of pressure from consumer advocates — including 8,000 petition signatures from Mozilla supporters like you — showing that when we speak out together, our voices are heard.

Read Mozilla's statement on Ring’s update here and help us share the good news on Twitter.

With internet-connected devices becoming more and more ubiquitous in our homes, it is crucial that we keep demanding companies take responsibility for strong privacy and security protections. Even with this positive step, Ring and its parent company Amazon have a long way to go to provide customers fully secure and private products. For example, the Ring doorbell only met 2 out of 5 of our Minimum Security Guidelines in our Privacy Not Included buyer's guide. Together, we will keep fighting to hold companies like Ring to account.

Thanks for being part of the Mozilla community.
