Introduction to Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security process designed to prevent unauthorized access to your online accounts by adding an extra layer of protection. While passwords can be compromised, 2FA adds an additional layer of security by requiring a second factor, such as a fingerprint or code, to access your account.
Increased security: With 2FA, even if someone manages to obtain your password, they won't be able to access your account without the second factor. This can help prevent identity theft, data breaches, and other online security threats.
Protection of sensitive data: By requiring a second factor, 2FA can help prevent unauthorized access to your personal or sensitive information, such as financial data or personal documents.
Simplified password management: Since 2FA makes it more difficult for hackers to access your accounts, you don't need to change your passwords as frequently. This can save you time and hassle, while still keeping your accounts secure.
