What is Two Factor Authentication?
You may be familiar with Two Factor Authentication (aka 2FA) if you’ve ever logged into a website, then had to type in a code you receive on your phone. This prevents a would be attacker from stealing your login credentials and logging in to your account. With 2FA, the attacker would need your login AND access to your phone in order to login to your account.
