Using Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), also referred to as 2-Step Verification, adds an extra layer of protection to your account. Typically, individuals rely on only one layer, their password, to safeguard their account. However, with 2FA, even if a hacker gains access through your password, they will still require your phone or Security Key to enter your account.
Setting up 2FA
Step 1: Install the free Google Authenticator App
Step 2: Activate 2FA in your user profile.
Step 3: Set up your Access Code
If you followed the steps above, your 2FA setup should be complete. During your next login, you will be required to provide both your password and Access code. It's important to have your device with Google Auth readily available.
