Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an upgraded security technique that requires two kinds of identification: your password and a generated security code.
When 2FA is enabled, a smartphone app will send you a code that you must enter together with your password to log in. You can’t log in without your smartphone.
You can install one of the below apps on your smartphone.
- Google Authenticator-for Android, iOS, BlackBerry OS, and Windows Phone
- GAuth Authenticator extension-for Google Chrome browsers
- Duo Mobile -for Android and iOS
