is using 2fa safe in every way

[asriloni]

It's the safest way for you to keep your wallet safe. Im feeling curious about what thing that makes you didn't interested to use 2fa just like others. I do believe if you have friends in the crypto and your friends are also using it. If you are not still interesting to use it and the big question for yourself about are you interested to secure your wallet or not. If that's not safe and bunch of crypto users will not activate their 2fa verification to make sure their accounts are having strong security.
I think that that if this is a common standard in the cryptocurrency.

Using 2FA can really be useful to secure your wallet but I think some people and hackers still can managed to bypass the security but I haven't experience anything so far and I make sure that I enable all of the 2FA of my accounts that can be supported by 2FA.

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

Perhaps, we can't deny that it gives protection to our wallets. However, this is not the only way it guarantee a total safety to our account/wallet, it still depends on us. But what really I can say is that the use of 2FA authentication to filter possible unpermitted access to our account makes you feel easy and gives less worry that one day these hackers will crack our keys/password. For I could say that for many years I was using this, I was safe and had no experience of being hacked, and that was because I set my 2FA for my security enhancement.

If your 2fa got leaked and it can't delay scammer to take your money from your wallet but if your code was totally safe and it will prevent scammer to take your money from your wallet. You must also know the difference between it. Remember that sometimes if someone can still be hacked even when he was having 2fa as his 2fa already leaked. Security was a very important thing but the most important thing is about how can you secure your wallet in the safe place and no one able to take your data to open your wallet.

First and foremost, which wallet do you use? Since you've mentioned 2FA and it involves a mobile number, that would be a centralized wallet. The thing is if you have set an "easy to remember" password and didn't enable 2FA, it would likely lead to our crypto wallets to get compromised and having our assets drained as the hackers would initiate the unauthorized transaction easily.

In all of my centralized wallets and exchanges aside from the password, I also have 2FA, pin, fingerprint and Google Authenticator as we needed extra layers for protecting ourselves against these unauthorized transactions.

It is really unfortunate that it has come to this, but with scammers and hackers all over the market the truth is that even when you take all the precautions necessary that you may think sometimes you feel as if you have not done enough.

And this is because we know what hackers are capable of, and despite all of those protections they only need to find a weak spot on the system that you use to protect your coins and one day you could wake up to the fact that you lost your coins, this has never happened to me but it is something that can happen if you are not careful enough.

[Yaunfitda]

Using 2FA is a good layer of security and protection, but the thing is that the criminals can bypass this one as well. It seems that they are always one step of the game because they were able to get access to you account and unfortunately take all your hard earn coins. So I would say though, it's better than nothing, and you should protect your account with 2FA such as Yubikey.

[uneng]

2fa is a must. I can't imagine someone using an online platform while dealing with medium to large sums of money without protecting the account with 2fa and email confirmation for transactions. It's just a very simple and easy step, but that makes total difference, without any doubts. I don't even know why passwords still exist, since they aren't enough to avoid hackers accessing your accounts. They don't protect anything and can be easily discovered by the most basic hackers automatic tools. Always make sure you are using every security measures and features the website you are signed in have to offer to customers.

[icalical]

It will absolutely be safer if you add 2fa, but actually if you have the wallet that's not store your private key, it should be save even without any 2fa / pin. Since I don't know what wallet you are using and how your accident happened, the 2fa, pin or anything won't matters if you recklessly spreading your private information.

[worle1bm]

I would say 2FA acts as an additional security layer over your assets but it didn't provide any sort of guarantee because if you have enabled SMS 2FA then it's risky but if you have some TOTP 2FA enabled then it's far better than conventional way as you have different codes at different times.But be sure to have safety at your end also because everything is prone to hacks and loss if you are careless enough for it.

So we should not be too careless using the phishing links that have been circulating now.
Because even though there is strong security, if we are trapped in a phishing link it is useless and we must quickly take action to secure our assets to other wallets.

That is why it is very important to enable 2fa for whatever kind of wallet app we are using. That is our only way of securing our funds so no person should just ignore that 2fa features of all wallet apps. All wallets that I have used, I always ensure the maximum security the app can offer either 2fa, sms verification, email verification and etc. to secure my funds because once the transaction has been done there is no way we can get them back. So there is no way you can recover your money even after enabling your wallet app 2fa. I feel sorry for you mate, hope you've learned your lesson now.

When the transaction especially withdrawing certainly needs at least 1 confirmation, even though we do not activate 2fa but when withdrawal definitely requires confirmation in an email when registering, and if we activate 2fa, of course the account position is stronger because I rarely hear the theft case on users who activate 2fa.

confirmation code that send by activating 2fa could help us for unexpected condition such as hacking case , we could protect our account with 2 layer protection if maybe our email hacked but the another security still secure by us. google auth or sms code be lastest protection if hacker access our account, no one could access it except our self.

Right, i think Google 2fa authentication is more secure than gmail and mobile sms code because gmail can be hack any time so it’s definitely a bit risky, i faced some issues with gmail security, so i don’t think only gmail is enough to protect your wallet. I feel safe with 2fa authentication but also it’s not 100% safe, hackers can pass it also.

Really sad you didn't use two factor authentication {2FA} so secure your funds. Please going forward don't joke with the usefulness of the power of 2fa. Many people have fallen victim to hacks and the only way to prevent hackers from having access to your funds is by securing it with OTP or 2FA.

[nakamura12]

Having 2FA in your account or your wallet doesn't mean that it is completely safe. 2FA can be hacked by hackers if you ask me but having 2FA will increase its safety  compared to not having 2FA in your account or wallet for non-hacker person. For example, I got your account in an exchange site where you have funds in there when you are trading but if I log on your account, I can't actually access it since the site ask me to provide a OTP for 2FA. That's why 2FA works for those who doesn't know how to hack.

[evichi]

As much as possible it is best to exhaust/use available security measures to protect your assets especially in exchanges. Though PIN and 2FA may not always be a perfect security system but it is better than not using it. Your assets are what you have worked for and deserve to be protected. If applicable, also use a mix of complex alphanumeric, etc. to create passwords. It is like making things hard for yourself, but it is preferable than to have the experience a stolen fund.

2FA is a good security but if you fail to protect it then your account can still be compromise.
On most of my important account, I always have my 2FA and of course there's also a back up to that so make sure you do note of that and keep it on a safer place. We are living in a market that is very vulnerable to hackers and scammers, we should use every security that we can use here in the market and in your online accounts.

[ololajulo]

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.

Hacking does not have to come from online, it might be through friends and someone close also through use of unsecure WIFI etc. As much as it is kept online one should be careful onground. If you lose your phone having the same number and email access open, such individual might be exposed already, many more cases

Obviously as what others mentioned in here, there is no direct connection between 2fa and your usual crypto transaction so no, OP.
Since the transaction went through already, I would be more concerned on the current device that you are using since the hacker could possibly more damage which I hope I am wrong. Either do a virus scan or clean install of your device.
Start from there then start implementing 2FA and PIN if you really wish for an extra layer of security.

This is a sad way to bid farewell to one's hard earned cash. I don't know why some crypto enthusiasts will decide not to password their wallets. Isn't it like having a bank account without setting up a password for it? It sounds wrong. Even if you don't feel the need to set up a 2FA for it, you should at least put a pin or password to it. You don't need to make everything very easy for a thief breaking into your eallett. A strong pin should give the thief some sweat exercise before they crack it open. Sorry about your loss. Sadly, there's nothing else you can do on that now.
