Two-factor authentication (2FA), also known as MFA, enhances online security by requiring users to provide two different types of authentication factors before granting access to their accounts.

If you enable 2FA, you'll need to provide a one-time 6-digit code when you log in on a new device or perform sensitive actions on your account.

Why should I enable 2FA?

The importance of 2FA lies in its ability to significantly enhance the security of online accounts and systems in several ways:

1. Weak or Stolen Passwords: Many security breaches occur due to weak or stolen passwords. 2FA reduces the reliance on passwords and lessens the risk associated with password-related vulnerabilities.
2. Phishing: Phishing attacks involve tricking users into revealing their passwords. With 2FA, even if a user falls victim to a phishing attempt and provides their password, the attacker would still need the second factor, which is typically harder to obtain.

In summary, Two-Factor Authentication is vital for strengthening the security of online accounts and systems by requiring users to provide two distinct forms of authentication. This added layer of protection helps safeguard sensitive information, reduce the risk of unauthorized access, and mitigate the impact of password-related vulnerabilities and phishing attacks.

How can I get a 2FA code?

There are three ways you can get this one-time code:

1. Through SMS: We will send you a text message with the code when you log in from a new device.
2. Via a phone call: We will call you, and our system will tell you the one-time code.
3. From an authenticator app: When you set up this method, you'll scan a QR code with your authenticator app. After that, when you log in from a new device, enter the 6-digit code from that app. Google Authenticator is one such app.

You can add as many methods as you'd like. It's a good practice to have more than one 2FA method in case you lose access to your primary one.
