What Two Factor Authentication Does for Your Account
When two factor authentication is active, every new login requires two things: your password and a time-sensitive code. The code is either sent to your registered mobile number via SMS or generated by an authenticator app like Google Authenticator. Once you enter both, the session opens. If someone else gets hold of your password, they still cannot access your account without that
second code. To start, go to Account Settings, select Security, then choose your preferred verification method — SMS or authenticator app. Confirm your choice with your current password, and the system activates the layer immediately.
