What is Two-factor authentication (2FA)?

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a form of multi-factor authentication that helps verify that you are the person who is logging into your account.ÌýIt reduces the risk of cyber-attacks such as phishing, malware, and other attempts to take over your account.  Specifically, 2FA verifies your identity by using two methods, or factors, of authentication.

As part of our ongoing effort to strengthen ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û's collective cybersecurity, all active ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û accounts are enabled with two-factor authentication (2FA).
