Two-Factor Authentication: It’s Not as Complicated as You Think

✔️ There are some persistent myths about two-factor authentication that stop people from adopting it. I'll clear them up so you can use this simple yet powerful security feature with confidence.

✔️ Two factor myths busted
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second check, something you have, to your password (something you know). You only use it when signing in on a new device or browser.
