What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?
Two-factor authentication (2FA) enhances account security by requiring two forms of verification.
How 2FA Works:
➊ 🔑 Enter Username and Password: Start by logging in with your username and password.
➋ ✅ Verification: The system checks if these credentials are correct.
➌ 🔄 Activate Second Factor: With correct credentials, 2FA initiates a second verification step, such as a code from an authenticator app, SMS, or fingerprint scan.
➍ 🔍 Verify Second Factor: Proceed to complete the verification using the selected method.
➎ 🔓 Access Decision: Successful verification grants access; failure results in denied access.
Note: SMS for OTP verification is generally viewed as less secure within 2FA methods.
So Going for Google Authenticator is Better to keep you Secure 🔐.
