Two-factor authentication

What is Two Factor Authentication or 2FA?

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a very secure way to protect your online accounts. It works by requiring you to identify yourself using two different methods when you log in to your accounts. The second factor is tied to something ‘you have’ (like a cellphone). So you can think of two-factor as something you know (your password) + something you have (your cellphone).
