two-factor authentication
Double-check your identity
Two-factor authentication is a security method requiring two different types of verification to access an account—typically something you know (a password) and something you have (a code sent to your phone).
Often abbreviated 2FA.
Enable two-factor authentication on any account that offers it.
The extra step makes unauthorized access significantly harder, even if your password is compromised.
