What is 2FA?
Two-Factor Authentication, commonly known as 2FA, is an additional layer of security that requires two forms of verification to gain access to your account. This typically involves something you know (like a password) and something you have (like a mobile device).
Why Use 2FA?
Here are a few reasons why you should consider enabling 2FA for your account:
- Enhanced Security: 2FA adds an extra layer of protection, making it much harder for unauthorized users to access your account.
- Prevent Phishing: Even if your password is compromised, 2FA ensures that the attacker still needs your physical device to gain access.
- Compliance: Many organizations require 2FA for compliance with security standards.

To set up 2FA, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Account Settings: Log in to your account and go to the Account Settings page.
- Enable 2FA: Look for the 2FA section and enable it.
