Do you use Two Factor Authentication?

[Heatman]

Two Factor Authentication is a security protocol set on any social media accounts to prevent an unauthorised access to the account. I have it set up in all my social media accounts and even forum's too. This stops my account from being hacked.

Do you use Two Factor Authentication?

 

[MrDawn]

Nope. For the reason someone who is able to hack into your computer and get all of your passwords would breeze right through it anyway. Just keep a good internet security program, firewalls, and don't tell people what your passwords are.

I use it on my most important accounts, such as my password manager, my bank account, and accounts that have my bank account/debit card linked.

 

[FloridaCody]

Yes I do for my most important accounts like my bank account, otherwise I just use a password manager.

 

[Aaron]

It's not a requirement on this forum for staff but I've got it set up on my account.

 

[Jason]

I don't like it cause it's a pain for those trying to get in. Anyway, though, I can see the need. Well, it would be especially useful, maybe necessary for an admin.

2FA has proven to be a massive safeguard for accounts when compared to just passwords. In today's age, brute force attacks, highly technical phishing attacks, and database breaches are a normal and are all defeated by 2FA in most cases. I find it almost foolish to not use it on sensitive accounts today.

I use this 2FA on very vital accounts. Let's say my Email, other important account that I can't recover the account using my email if it is hacked.

Any account which I have sensitive info there and 2FA is supported on the platform, I do use it too.

 

[The Raven]

I do if there if the account is money related. I can't just allow people to hack my password and do whatever they want with my money. For youtube as well, I have plenty of content there and I don't want somebody to remove all videos...

Usually it is connected to my phone number where I get SMS code.

If you're not using Two Factor Authentication in your social media accounts, you're wrong. All your accounts will be vulnerable to hackers. My Facebook was hacked years ago before I started using 2FA.

 

[Shortie]

If I know that two-factor authentication is available and I can set it up, I will do so no matter where my account is.

Hackers are becoming more frequent and popular and it is never a good idea to not use an extra layer of protection on your account if the option is there.

 

[Dilip]

Yes, as a rule. It really helps

I use two factor authentication on all services related to finances. For instance I use 2FA on my banking apps and wallets. I also use 2FA on my hosting account. I lock my devices through biometrics as well.

It's very important to use Two Factor Authentication on anything related to finances because of cyber security breach. With 2FA, they can never hack your account.

 

[xjmluvr]

I use two-factor authentication on all my important accounts.
Hackers are more frequent now so I want to keep my accounts as safe as possible.

 

[Trevor@35™]

If you want a great safeguard for your accounts online, 2FA is what you should look up to because it have proved to be massive in account's protection against any hack. I've never lost my accounts to hackers because I use 2FA on all of them.

 

[Kane]

I have not activated 2FA on my social media accounts but based on the default setting, when I try to log into my social accounts from a new device, new browser, or a new network, I will be asked to enter password.
