2-factor authentication (2-FA) verification is a security process that requires a user to provide two different authentication factors to access an account.
The purpose of 2-FA is to make it more difficult for unauthorized users to gain access to an account, even if they have the user's password.
When a user enables 2-FA on their Usetiful account, they are required to enter their password as the first and then provide the second factor by entering a code generated by Googe Authenticator app on their mobile device, or by using a security code.
