In plain English
An extra step after your password—like a code from an app or SMS—so that even if someone gets your password, they still can’t log in without your phone or device.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) requires a second proof of identity after your password, such as a code from an authenticator app or SMS. It greatly reduces the risk of account takeover from stolen or phished passwords.
We recommend using 2FA on important accounts. Our link and email tools help you avoid phishing so your password is less likely to be stolen in the first place.
