Once you’ve opted-in to 2FA, logging in to supported services is as simple as accepting the notification on your phone, or entering a PIN from a text message or phone call. It’s as easy as 1-2-3:
Passwords are increasingly easy to compromise. They can often be stolen, guessed, or hacked — you could be locked out of your account, or you might not even know someone is accessing it.
