How to Set Up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Wednesday, March 2024

Two-factor authentication (2FA), also known as two-step verification or multi-factor authentication (MFA), is a security process that requires users to provide two different authentication factors to gain access to an account or system.

2FA is important for several reasons, primarily because it significantly enhances the security of online accounts and systems. 2FA adds an extra layer of security beyond just a password. It requires users to provide two separate pieces of information to verify their identity, typically something they know and something they have. Even if a hacker manages to obtain your password, they will still need the second factor to gain access to your account. Check out this quick video below on how to set up 2FA on your devices. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlpoc3C1kWM
