What is Two-Factor Authentication?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Two-factor authentication adds an additional layer of security by introducing a second step when you log into your account with us. It takes something you know (i.e.: your password), and adds a second factor, typically something you physically have (such as your phone).<\/p>\n

Since both are required to log in, in the event an attacker obtains your password, two-factor authentication would stop them from accessing your account.<\/p>\n \t\t

\r\n \t\t\t\t\tWe recommend enabling two-factor authentication to provide an extra layer of security to your account. \t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n \t\t\t \t\t\t\r\n \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\n

Why Do You Need It?<\/h3>\n

Passwords are increasingly easy to compromise. They can often be guessed or leaked, they usually don\u2019t change very often, and despite advice otherwise, many of us have favorite passwords that we use for more than one thing. So Two-factor authentication gives you additional security because your password alone no longer allows access to your account.<\/p>\n
