1. Enhanced Security: By requiring an additional layer of verification beyond just a password, 2FA significantly improves account security. Even if someone manages to obtain your password, they won’t be able to access your account without the second factor.
2. Mitigates Password Vulnerabilities: Passwords alone are susceptible to hacking, guessing, and phishing attacks. With 2FA, even if your password is compromised, unauthorized access is prevented.
3. Reduced Risk of Credential Stuffing: People often reuse passwords across multiple accounts, making them vulnerable to credential stuffing attacks. 2FA helps mitigate this risk by adding an extra layer of protection.
