What Is 2-Factor Authentication?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2-Factor Authentication (2FA)<\/a> is a layer of security that requires both a password and an additional verification of the user’s identity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This verification comes from something only the authorized user can access, such as text and voice messages, email links or push notifications. 2FA is secure, because attackers don\u2019t have access to these external channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
