2FA stands for Two-Factor Authentication
It is an extra layer of security for your online accounts. When you enable 2FA, you not only need your password
to access your account but also a second factor, usually something you own, like a smartphone app that generates
a unique code or a physical device.
Why You Need to Enable 2FA:
-
Enhanced Security: Even if someone has your password, they cannot access your account without the second factor.
-
Protection Against Hacks: Passwords can be compromised through phishing or data breaches, but 2FA adds an extra hurdle for attackers.
-
Compliance: Some platforms require 2FA to meet regulatory or security standards.
In short, enabling 2FA significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access to your account.
