What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and Why Is It Important?

Two-Factor Authentication is a crucial security feature that significantly enhances your account protection.

What is 2FA?

2FA requires two forms of verification:

• Something you know: Your password
• Something you have: A code from your phone or authenticator app

Why is 2FA Important?

Enhanced Security

• Passwords alone can be compromised
• 2FA adds a second barrier
• Much harder for attackers to bypass

Protection Against

• Phishing attacks
• Password leaks
• Brute force attacks
• Unauthorized access

Setting Up 2FA on SuperDapp

Step 2: Choose Your Method

• Email: Receive codes via email

Step 3: Complete Setup

• Scan the QR code (for authenticator app)

Backup Codes

When you enable 2FA, you'll receive backup codes:

• Store them securely (offline preferred)
• Use them if you lose access to your 2FA device
• Each code can only be used once

Best Practices

• Use an authenticator app over SMS
• Keep backup codes in a safe place
• Don't share your 2FA codes
• Update your recovery options
