How to use 2fa

[removebeforeflight]

Good to see that you share what you know and make this forum knowledgeable with 2FA. As per my knowledge 2FA is a very good security measure to make our accounts more safe and secured, the most secured feature as of now I can say and this has to be set to almost all your crypto related wallets and there are few other sites also has this feature and you can have this if you want your date to be secured.

I also think touch id is very good
but still google authentication is the best around and it ensures better 2fa security as well.
Hope we all prevent hacks and scam.

2FA is really useful in exchange site because even though they know your password or anything about your account / wallet they cant withdraw anything unless they can input the correct OTP pass of 2FA this is why it is a MUST in every exchange site you use.

Absolutely this 2FA thing is a very helpful tool in protecting our wallet from hackers but as i have observed it is only used in centralized exchange. Why is it that they don't apply this on decentralized exchange? It would be a big boost to the security of our wallet if they apply this one.

Thank you for the explanation regarding on how to use the 2 factor authenticator. Surely it will be a great help in order to secure an account to not be able to be hack or scam. It is a security that is needed to activate for the account to be safe.

Two factor authentication is more for exchanges and yes, you should always activate them.  I don't think it's available for wallets but I could be wrong.  Bookmark Myetherwallet to be safe and there's a plugin called MetaCert which also helps with blocking phishing sites.

2fa is exceptional to operation when you are contriving assembly count or level additional count down cyberspace to avert criminal that buildup to your concealed effect or concealed account.

I advise you to do as I do - save passwords from 2fa and make screenshots of QR code on Google disk. But before that, do not forget to install the 2fa code on your Google account! 

[sergienkoe]

This is true! But be very careful with 2fa. Be sure to save the backup code or have the same 2fa on the other device.
Once I lost the phone on which I was 2fa and as a result I lost all the money on my wallet.
It is impossible to restore 2fa!

Thanks for insightful information I think this would help many of newbies as well as some of their school for guys around the main point for me is not to be lazy and always turn on 2fa, because this is our security.

[Denreal]

The reason i have adopted the idea of using 2FA is that, if you lost the device you used in creating it, you can restore it through your password. This is essential because of the incessant hacking of accounts on exchanges. Not exchanges alone, but also anything the needs security and enables the use of 2FA.

[sam53]

Securing the current 2-step authentication is important because there are many cases where hackers attack e-wallets and steal the full amount of cryptos. So you can use Google Authenticator or Authy to install 2fa for any of your e-wallets to be safe, avoiding the loss of cryptos.

Ask this question in google there is a video instruction and it will be clear and understandable. Is it really that hard?

[valheru]

I believe that 2FA is the best security development ever. It is a very simple system but as well is too effective and very easy to use. This system is really make feel the user in safe like an unbreakable system but it's not unbreakable. A hacker can change the device which connected to 2FA. In conclusion, do not leave your safety by relying on 2FA. Two-factor authentication cannot protect you from everything. No system is safe.

[ballerin and giroud]

2FA is a safe way to make our wallet account safe, because to access the wallet we need 2FA that tersembung to smartphone we have to receive password while the number of password always change change every 60 second. Each exchange will have 2FA different, such as through sms, google aunthenticator, and gmail depending on the exchange you use.

[apityeh71]

Use and activated 2fa for all account exchanges, email and others account is very important to avoid hack.  And when use it remember to keep in safe  the 16 digit code,  so when our android loss and damage,  will be easy to recover it. The code of 2 fa is automactly changed in every 30 second make more difficult for hacker to get in to our account. I hope this 2 fa will be added for Myetherwallet and other personal wallet.

2fa added more security to our accounts but always remember to always create a back up of  security generated  key  because incase your device damage, lost or stolen you can access again your 2fa in  other new  device.

Not only security it makes to healthy knowingly that your wallet will never be hacked even if your phone is stolen or lost

Be relaxed when fixing 2fa and ensure to store your secret keys in a disclosed place
Good luck

thank you for your post, I didn't know you could use 2FA on MyEtherWallet. If you can install 2fa, I always do it to protect the wallet, or the entrance to the exchange or personal account.
