    Why you should use 2FA for Acorns?

    Acorns is a popular investment app that allows users to invest their spare change. With so much sensitive financial information at stake, it's important to take steps to protect your account. That's where 2-factor authentication comes in.
     
    
     Enabling 2FA on your Acorns account adds an extra layer of security to your login process. Instead of just entering your password, you'll also need to enter a unique code that's sent to your phone or generated by an app like our Authenticator. This means that even if someone manages to steal your password, they won't be able to access your account without also having access to your phone.
     
    
     At our Authenticator, we take security and privacy seriously. Our app uses industry-standard encryption to keep your 2FA codes safe and secure. We also recommend that you use a strong, unique password for your Acorns account and enable any other security features offered by the app.
     
    
     By enabling 2-factor authentication on your Acorns account, you can rest easy knowing that your investments are protected. Don't wait until it's too late – take steps to secure your account today.
