How to Activate 2FA for Your Account
What is 2FA?
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is an additional layer of security designed to protect your online accounts. With 2FA enabled, you’ll need to provide two forms of identification to access your account—typically something you know (your password) and something you have (a code sent to your email). This makes it significantly more difficult for unauthorized users to gain access to your account, even if they have your password.
Why is 2FA Important?
2FA greatly enhances the security of your account by requiring a second form of verification. In today’s digital landscape, where cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated, 2FA is crucial in protecting your account from hackers and unauthorized access. By enabling 2FA, you add an extra layer of protection that helps keep your data and account safe.
