Why two factor authentication is very important?

Why two factor authentication is very important?

Here is why two factor authentication is so much important to all of us, first i will start off with the meaning of two authentication

What is a two factor authentication?

Two factor authentication referred to us a two step of verification, Most of the user use one factor authentication to login to their social media or to any platform in the internet which has an authentication. So using a two factor authentication is where after giving the user name and password we also have to give a token or an OTP or any other details to verify that it was us who login into the platform.

Example: 

Suppose you sign-in into google with email if you use two factor authentication after you give the email and password while submitting the information google will send an OTP to your mobile phone number so that you can enter the OTP into the system, so if the OTP match then only the google will accept you login into google.

So i hope by now you have a bit of understanding about the two factor authentication.

Why you should activate two factor authentication?

As the technology increase and become more advance so the step to crack the password also become more easy because all the cyber security expert can try million of combination of password to match your password with in a second and once they find the match they can just take advantage of every thing which belong to you in that platform

So by using two factor authentication even if they find the match of your password when they login into your account a message will send to your mobile with a token or OTP or any type of information, so when you receive this type of message or notification if you did not login then by now you will get to know that someone a non authorize user has login into you account.

Why is it so important to have a two factor authentication?

It help in protecting you from the unauthorized user to login into you account or take control over your account.

Here is another example of two factor authentication:

Now in India like SBI bank has implement a two factor authentication when withdrawing money from the ATM, before we withdraw money from the bank by inserting the card and provide a pin or password (whatever you want to call it ) that's it we can withdraw money from the ATM, but now to withdraw money from the ATM we insert the ATM card and enter a pin or a password and then an OTP was send to our register mobile and we have to enter the OTP in order for us to be able to continue with withdrawing money right?. That it is call as a two factor authentication.

Conclusion:

I highly recommend you to use a two factor authentication because it protect you from getting hack or getting your information stolen, so if you care about your identity then you should make a practice to make use of a two factor authentication, I mean we all care about our identity right ? as we all use social media and different type of platform in the internet we know that we care about our identity.
