Two-Factor Authentication, abbreviated as 2FA, is a security mechanism that adds an extra layer of protection to your online accounts, including cryptocurrency exchange accounts and wallets. It requires users to provide two different authentication factors when logging in. The first factor is typically something you know, like a password or PIN, while the second factor is something you have, such as a one-time code generated by a mobile app or sent via SMS. By combining these factors, 2FA significantly enhances the security of your accounts, making it more challenging for unauthorized users to gain access. Utilizing 2FA is a fundamental practice for safeguarding your cryptocurrency holdings and personal information.
