Why you should use 2FA for GitLab?

GitLab is a popular platform for software development and version control. With so much sensitive information being stored on GitLab, it's important to take security seriously. That's where 2-factor authentication comes in.
 

 Enabling 2FA on GitLab adds an extra layer of security to your account. Instead of just relying on a password, you'll also need to enter a code generated by an app like Authenticator. This means that even if someone manages to steal your password, they won't be able to access your account without the code.
 

 In addition to protecting your account, enabling 2FA on GitLab can also help protect your projects and code. With 2FA, you can be sure that only authorized users are able to make changes to your codebase.
 

 Of course, even with 2FA enabled, it's important to take other security and privacy precautions. Make sure your password is strong and unique, and consider using a password manager to keep track of all your login information. And always be careful when sharing sensitive information or code with others.
 

 Overall, enabling 2-factor authentication on GitLab is a simple and effective way to improve the security of your account and your code. So why not take a few minutes to set it up today?
