    Why you should use 2FA for Medium?

    Medium is a popular platform for writers and readers alike. With so much personal information and intellectual property being shared on the platform, it's important to take steps to protect your account. That's where 2-factor authentication comes in.
     
    
     Enabling 2FA on Medium adds an extra layer of security to your account. Instead of just entering your password, you'll also need to enter a code that's sent to your phone or generated by an app. This means that even if someone manages to guess or steal your password, they won't be able to access your account without the second factor.
     
    
     In addition to protecting your account from hackers, enabling 2FA can also give you peace of mind. You'll know that even if someone does manage to get your password, they won't be able to access your account without your phone or authentication app.
     
    
     When it comes to security and privacy, it's important to choose a reputable 2FA app. Our Authenticator app is designed with security in mind, and we never store your codes or personal information on our servers. We also recommend using a strong, unique password for your Medium account and enabling other security features like two-step verification and email notifications for login attempts.
     
    
     Overall, enabling 2-factor authentication on Medium is a simple but effective way to protect your account and your personal information. Don't wait until it's too late – take action today to secure your online presence.
