What is two-factor authentication?
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a valuable security feature designed to protect your online accounts. In addition to a password, 2FA requires a one-time code generated by an authenticator app on your mobile device. This adds an extra layer of security by ensuring that both your password and mobile device are required for login.
