Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an extra layer of security to help keep your online accounts secure. Google Workspace is an example of a service that has 2FA. It requires two pieces of information from you – something only you know, like your password, and something you have, like your phone – in order to log in.
This makes it harder for someone else to access your account without permission because they won’t have both pieces of information. 2FA helps protect your account and data so it’s important to use when available.Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an extra layer of security for your online accounts.
