What is 2FA and how do I use it?

2FA, or two-factor authentication, adds an extra layer of security to your accounts. It requires not just a password but also a second factor, like a code sent to your phone.

How do I set it up on my accounts?

To set up 2FA, go to your account settings, find the security section, and look for the option to enable two-factor authentication. Follow the prompts to link your phone.

What if I lose my phone?

If you lose your phone, most services provide backup codes when you set up 2FA. Store these codes safely, as they can help you regain access.

Are there any apps you recommend for 2FA?

Yes, apps like Google Authenticator, Authy, and Microsoft Authenticator are popular choices for generating 2FA codes.
