What is Two-Factor Authentication?
Two-Factor Authentication or 2FA is an additional layer of security used to protect your online accounts. It adds an extra step to the login process, requiring you to provide two different forms of identification or verification before accessing your account.
The first factor is a password or PIN. The second factor is a code sent to your phone. By combining these two factors, 2FA significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access to your accounts, even if someone manages to obtain your password.
This method of authentication adds an extra barrier for potential attackers, making it much more difficult for them to gain access to your personal information and sensitive data.
How to enable 2FA in my account?
To enable the Two-Factor Authentication you need to go to your profile settings. There you can find the Two-Factor Authentication section and switch the tumbler to Enabled:

How does Two-Factor Authentication work?

2. After entering the code, you will log in to the panel (if you entered the wrong code, you can request another code after a minute).
You can disable 2FA in your profile settings.
