Enhancing your account security with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is an essential step in protecting your data. Follow these steps to set up 2FA using Authentication App or Email Authentication.
What is Two Factor Authentication (2FA)?
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is an extra layer of security used to protect accounts by requiring two forms of verification to log in.
Typically, it involves something you know (your password) and something you have (a code from your phone or email). This makes it harder for unauthorized users to access your account, even if they obtain your password.
