Two factor authentication (2FA) enables a double layer of security when logging into your accounts. In case your user name and password have been compromised, your account can’t be broken into unless the unique code generated by the app is entered.
Before you begin
You should download the Google Authenticator app for android or ios before enabling Google 2FA.
Quick tip:
If you are logged in, get there faster.
