is using 2fa safe in every way

[sunsilk]

today I experienced an unexpected transaction from one of my wallets, all my assets were sold automatically, this is the first time I've experienced this, I didn't protect this wallet with a PIN and 2fa

Sorry to hear about that, that's why there's 2FA and any other authenticating service to give an additional layer of security for our assets.

can it be delayed after I use 2fa and PIN for all transactions?

Yes, the culprit will have a hard time withdrawing your funds if there's a 2FA required to access your funds. But what is this wallet that you have? Do you remember those websites where you've logged or file that you recently downloaded?

Even if you activate the 2Fa security now, the transaction which have been carried out on your wallet cannot be un do, the only good news their is that such can't repeat it's self.. 2Fa to me is one of the most advanced way of securing crypto assets in most exchanges, but one things one need to know is that even with the 2fa activated on your account, without carefully being managed, I just discovered off recent that the google 2fa can be clone and duplicated to another device which is a perfect way for someone to clone your app and use the same security u think it's best protected to move your funds out.

Setting additional 2FA is an additional ways to secure our wallet or data. because if we are using the 2FA, at least, we need to get access to the 2FA at first before succeeding in the transaction.
However, I cannot say that using 2FA is also the safest way because it is not guaranteed. sometimes, the hacker also has a way to trap us and get our 2FA code to access our wallet or platform. So, it means that in the online world, there is no guarantee of 100% safe.
But at least, setting 2FA is better than not, to avoid such bad thing, at elast we are trying to protect our assets better

Adding 2 fa in your wallet means if you are adding more layer to access your money. Im sorry for your lose but you must have learned a lot from this case if 2fa was a really important thing despite some bad cases about that but mostly 2fa was still useful for the users to keep their money securely from the hackers. I think that even majority of members in here are also using or activating their 2fa to keep their money securely without any risk to be stolen by scammers. This is the most important part when it comes to secure your money.
You must make it available in your wallet to make sure hackers will not able to access your wallet easily without knowing the code from your 2fa

[wxa7115]

The importance of 2fa for keeping your account or your wallet safe is immense.If your account is automated by 2FA, hackers will never be able to hack your account.I think for those who work in cryptocurrency, you must use 2FA to save the account. This will keep your account 100% secure.

It is important to not create expectations that are out of place, 2FA is safer than to not use it but hackers are incredibly resourceful and if they have targeted you specifically they can wait until they can break your 2FA and hack you anyway.

The great advantage is that it makes getting to your coins more difficult and it can help you to notice that there is something wrong and tighten your security before you lose your coins, so whenever possible we need to enable it but we must also remember that no system is 100% safe.

Supposedly if you activate 2FA on every transaction or your wallet, something like that shouldn't be able to happen, but if it's a decentralized wallet and can be opened only with a private key then 2fa will be useless because such a wallet can be used in many applications such as Metamask, so what you pay more attention to is the security on the Private Key that you have so that it cannot be stolen from the contents of the wallet that you have.

[romero121]

2FA is a must whenever something related to money is being done. This increase the security of the application involved. Nowadays most of the Exchanges and gambling platforms keeps requesting to add the 2FA to increase the security. I don't get the way by which OP's wallet have been breached. It looks like someone who is close to him or known about his wallets have used it an opportunity and sold his holdings.

Even if this is done by a Known person, there'll be traces. OP has to cross check the transactions and he might get some clue on the same.

[coinsycrip09]

i am sorry  , but transactions that are already in progress cannot be postponed or stopped.

2fa is very useful for increasing wallet security, so i always use it to add another layer of security to my wallet.
my advice, you should still use 2fa and PIN to avoid this kind of thing happening again in the future.

[kojektea]

there is no guarantee that it will be one hundred percent secure, but 2fa is the highest security to protect our data today, 2fa is also almost mandatory to use for all exchanges. For them, the main high security is 2fa, so far it has been proven to reduce the risk of data or asset theft. I have proven it myself, as long as our account access or 2fa access remains safe in one place, I am sure our assets will be safe, so far I have never lost any assets or sold assets myself, because I always install 2fa in my every exchange account.

It was compromised already. Probably someone either got access on your email and able to do some transactions. If you install 2fa then he cant get to access it however, Im not sure if your funds will be safez since he already got access to it and you dont know what other things malicious he sent off so your account can still be access regardless you put a 2fa.

if your assets are already transferred, then there is no way to stop it.
2fa and PIN are the initial security used to avoid account breaches, so they are very important and recommended. although sometimes a bit complicated, but that's okay. nowadays very many hackers can penetrate your account if you don't use 2fa or PIN. by using it, at least you can find out someone is trying to get into your account, and you can take precautions by changing the password. preferably, after this, you need to use 2fa and PIN as the first security for the account you choose. That's why banks are really tightening this up, because it's quite a sensitive issue at the moment, moreover there are so many hackers who are targeting someone's account out there.

when the transaction is running and the TXhash already exists, the transaction cannot be canceled. but in the future you have to be more careful, always use a PIN and 2FA. if needed use a phone number for authentication as well. like i did on my binance account, i activated all security without exception. You are too negligent in this, that's why your account/wallet was hacked.

[Teraboy]

2FA was a very important thing when you are storing your assets into application. If you are using only paper wallet and this doesn't need but when you are storing your assets online or in app and activating the 2FA was a must for you. You have been learned a very important lesson and you must always aware if 2FA was helping people so much to secure their assets from the hackers. I have been seeing people were activating this important thing after their wallet got hacked. You must not repeat your mistake again. Try to always activate 2FA when it was available.
This is the most important thing in the wallet and it's your money but about the security of wallet.

[Crypto Library]

I think you got hacked by someone by phishing. And they did it easily because of your security lack  And that's because you didn't enable your two-factor authentication security system. There is no such thing as an automatic sale with 2fa. I think they hacked  access to your account and have been transacted or withdrawn from your wallet coins. From then on, keep an eye on these and enable the security systems well.

[StormHawk]

That's why people should enable 2FA authentication for the security of a wallet or should be used in everything  important . However, in many cases hackers can also break the 2FA security system. In many cases there are many exchangers who have weak 2FA security system , in that case the users get a lot of problems with it .

I believe that getting access to a wallet via a connected platform or through private keys will neutralise every form of security on a wallet? Correct me if I am wrong and that includes 2FA Authentication itself, unless the wallet is a centralized wallet that implement 2FA for every transactions but won't be possible on the likes of trust wallet, coinomi wallet and metamask.

[Paul Pogba]

I always activate 2FA on the exchanges that I usually use, and I think it's proven to be more secure, maybe in special cases someone will be able to enter but to open or hack 2FA is in fact very difficult, so always enable 2FA for the security of our assets.

for more details what wallet did you use at that time?
and are you sure it's the fault of the wallet you're using?
try to think again what you did before your wallet was hacked?

for example I use a mobile trustwallet, and I've never had a problem like yours even though my wallet is without 2FA. maybe you have tried swapping token dusting in your wallet? if yes, this might be the problem. next time don't care about any tokens in your wallet, unless you bought one. or do you know where the token came from.

yes it is, and you know that's a bad news mate because your late and your assets is completely gone, so its impossible to recover or whatsoever.

for me having 2fa on my wallet for long time now, so far i didn't see any suspicious activity on my wallet , that's why i'm very confident that having 2FA is totally secured and no one can make transactions without a code..
So i suggest better to create new one then set up 2FA to prevent losses, stop using that wallet again!

[yazher]

When having huge amounts of crypto assets, it's understandable that people will use all the necessary things to secure it because we all know that hackers are there and scammers are just looking for some opportunity to strike. That's why 2FA authentication is important because you are maximizing your security to protect your assets from hackers. Many investors skip this kind of thing because they thought they were just safe in their preferred exchanges while they are completely prone to such a kind of tragedy where they cannot be saved by their exchanges.

[Yamifoud]

We can't say it was 100% safe as there is no such thing as an online wallet. However, this gives us at least the highest level of protection. But before using this stuff, be sure you have the backup codes as in case of the loss of your phone or damage to your computer, there still a way to restore and access your wallet.

All of my wallet and accounts from exchanges had captured the 2FA security which was recommended and I could really say, for how many years my funds are safe. I really suggest you do this but of course, don't let other people use your device as this is one reason for code leaks.
