Why you should use 2FA for login.gov?

If you're using login.gov to access government services, it's important to enable 2-factor authentication (2FA) to protect your account. With 2FA, you'll need to enter a code from your Authenticator app in addition to your password, making it much harder for hackers to gain access to your account.
 

 Using an Authenticator app like ours is a great way to store your 2FA codes securely. Our app uses encryption to keep your codes safe, and you can even back up your codes to the cloud in case you lose your phone.
 

 When it comes to security and privacy, it's important to choose a strong password and enable 2FA wherever possible. You should also be careful about sharing personal information online, and avoid using public Wi-Fi networks for sensitive activities like online banking.
 

 Overall, enabling 2FA is a simple but effective way to protect your online accounts. With our Authenticator app, you can store your codes securely and have peace of mind knowing that your accounts are protected.
