  • 2FA

    2FA means "Two-factor Authentication". This means that logging into one of your accounts will require two means of identity for full confirmation.  The first required item will typically be your standard password or PIN.  After that is entered then you will be required to enter the second type of identity confirmation. The second type will typically be a numeric code sent to you via:
    1. an SMS message or telephone call.
    2. a pre-set smartphone authentication app.
    3. your email address.
    2FA may also be called:
    • two-step verification
    • TFA
