Do you use Two Factor Authentication?

[Heatman]

After my Facebook account was hacked for the first time, I learnt how to use Two Factor Authentication to upgrade the security of my account and ever since then, my account have never been hacked. It's why I'm using 2FA on all my social media accounts including on forums too.

I use it for PlayStation and Xbox that's it.

I make use of the 2 Factor verification for most of my accounts. It is something that I am always happy to do each time that I am opening a new account.

I always use Two Factor Authentication wherever it is available no matter how popular the site may be as I feel much safer having that enabled wherever I have an account just to know that I have that extra layer of security and I don't run the risk of my account getting hacked and my information getting into the wrong hands.

I don’t have it on my forum; don’t know how or if we can on Proboards. I am only on one forum that enables it for the Staff members. I do appreciate the extra layer of protection & security. Do people know of any other benefits to this? What are the downsides you can think of?

I use it personally on a new forum I own but don't require it of other staff etc.

I've got it set up on my forum, though I wonder if I really need to have it enabled for my account. I use a completely different password on VGC, so if anyone was to try and log into my account they wouldn't even be able to. :V Plus I've been having issues where I keep getting emails with codes sent to me whenever I open Firefox on my phone. I'll have to figure out why I keep getting these emails...

I use it on most things now but it can be annoying because it is spread out to several different kinds. I really wish I could consolidate it all down to 1.

lol yes.
the other day i was trying to change my phone and login to my mail but it's asking me all sorts of things and i couldn't even remember lol

Yes, always. I have never skipped it for main services. Feels like adding an extra layer of security helps.

I mostly use email for 2FA or SMS which it is available.

Yes, I use two factor authentication on most of my accounts. I’d rather not leave anything to chance. I’d rather have my accounts secured.

 

[Demon_skeith]

I have to at work, several different ones no less. I use it on a few important personal accounts as well.

Yeah i have it on everything i can.
All it takes is for company you signed up to, to get hacked and they will have your password, if you use the same one on other accounts.
They will be able to sign in straight away and will target all common sites with that email /password
2FA stops that, even if they have your password they cant sign in.

hmm you can get a yubikey - they are kinda pricey and depending what devies you have.
You can probably get one of those if you are sick of typing codes from apps.
they various ones, you can use them with mobiles phones and pcs etc
