[QUOTE="Coinmarketvoice, post: 310974, member: 98369"] For online accounts like email, Social Security, bank, crypto or anything sensitive, using two-factor authentication is one of the smartest security moves you can make. Two-factor authentication, or 2FA, adds an extra layer of protection beyond just your password. 2FA requires not just your password to log into an account, but also something else like a security code sent to your phone, an authentication app, or a physical security key. This prevents hackers from accessing even if they somehow brute force or phish their way into obtaining your password. 2FA is available for many services you likely use every day and is considered a best practice for anyone concerned about account security in the digital age. Services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, cryptocurrency exchanges, banking sites and more typically offer 2FA. When setting up 2FA, you'll have the choice of using SMS text messages, an authentication app like Google Authenticator, or security keys. Security keys are the strongest method but least convenient. Any option is better than no 2FA at all though. It's also a good idea to enroll multiple 2FA methods for an account, like using both texts and an app. That way if one method stops working for some reason, you have other options to still log in. And you can easily switch between 2FA methods at any time. Hacks of accounts with 2FA enabled are extremely rare. While no security method is 100% foolproof, 2FA stops almost all password cracking and phishing attempts in their tracks. It provides exponentially more protection than just a password alone. Using 2FA also adds convenience and peace of mind. You'll feel more confident that your accounts are safeguarded from unauthorized access or fraud. It gives you assurance that your sensitive information and assets are securely protected. Remember, enabling 2FA on your accounts is your responsibility. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully when setting it up. Select secure backup 2FA methods and enable 2FA for all eligible services whenever possible. Establishing good security practices like using two-factor authentication whenever it's available helps ensure that your important accounts, information and property remain under your control and out of the wrong hands. In short, adding an extra layer of protection with two-factor authentication is one of the easiest but most effective security steps you can take in the digital world today. Make sure to enable it on everything from email to crypto accounts—your future self will thank you! [/QUOTE]
