Introduction
In todayās digital world, passwords alone are no longer enough to keep your accounts secure. Over 80% of hacking-related breaches occur due to stolen or weak passwords (Verizon Data Breach Report), making it crucial to add an extra layer of protection.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) helps safeguard your account by requiring not just a password, but also a second verification stepāsuch as a code sent to your phone or generated by an authentication app. This simple step can make a huge difference:
- 99.9% of automated hacking attempts are blocked with 2FA (Microsoft Security Report).
- Up to 75% reduction in account takeovers (Google Security Study).
- Yet, only 10% of users enable 2FA, despite its effectiveness (Verizon Data Breach Report).
By enabling 2FA, you add a critical layer of security that drastically reduces the risk of unauthorized access. This guide will walk you through how to set up 2FA and ensure your accounts remain protected.
