What It Is
2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second code (usually sent to your phone) when you log in.
Why It Matters
Even if someone steals your password, they cannot access your account without the second code.
Simple Steps to Follow
- Enable 2FA on email, banking, and social media
- Choose text message codes or authenticator apps
- Save backup codes somewhere safe
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Only using a password with no second step
- Losing backup codes
- Ignoring 2FA setup prompts
