# What is Latch?

**Latch** is a mobile service that lets you add an extra level of security to your online accounts and services. It gives you the control to switch your accounts off with a simple tap when you are not using them to help prevent any unauthorized use.

It is not limited to control a login mechanism, but you can create a latch to block any feature of a service, for instance, making money transfers in a banking website.

You can find more information about Latch on their [official website](https://latch.elevenpaths.com/www/index.html).
