    Why you should use 2FA for American Express Cards?

    American Express Cards are a popular choice for credit card users. However, with the rise of cybercrime, it's important to take extra steps to protect your account. That's where 2-factor authentication comes in.
     
    
     Enabling 2FA on your American Express account adds an extra layer of security. It requires a second form of verification, such as a code sent to your phone, in addition to your password. This makes it much harder for hackers to gain access to your account, even if they have your password.
     
    
     At the same time, it's important to be aware of potential security risks. Make sure you only enable 2FA on trusted devices and avoid using public Wi-Fi when accessing your account. Additionally, be sure to keep your phone and other devices secure with strong passwords and regular updates.
     
    
     Overall, enabling 2-factor authentication on your American Express account is a simple and effective way to protect your finances and personal information. Take the time to set it up today and enjoy greater peace of mind.
