🔐 What is 2FA?
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your account. It requires not only your password but also a second factor—typically a mobile device— to verify your identity. This greatly reduces the risk of unauthorized access. Setup of 2FA is mandatory for access.
