Why you should use 2FA for myGov?

myGov is a platform that allows users to access a range of government services online. With so much sensitive 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 myGov account adds an extra layer of security to your login process. Instead of just entering your password, you'll also need to provide a unique 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 also having your phone or other device.
 

 At Authenticator, we take security and privacy seriously. Our app uses industry-standard encryption to keep your 2FA codes safe and secure. We also recommend taking other steps to protect your myGov account, such as using a strong, unique password and enabling two-factor authentication on any linked email accounts.
 

 By enabling 2FA on your myGov account, you can rest assured that your personal information is safe and secure. Don't wait - take action today to protect your online identity.
