Why you should use 2FA for NuGet?

NuGet is a popular package manager for .NET developers. If you're using NuGet, it's important to enable 2-factor authentication (2FA) to protect your account from unauthorized access. With 2FA, you'll need to enter a code from your Authenticator app in addition to your password to log in to your NuGet account.
 

 Enabling 2FA is easy and can be done in just a few steps. Simply download an Authenticator app like Google Authenticator or Authy, scan the QR code provided by NuGet, and enter the code generated by the app. Once you've enabled 2FA, you'll have an extra layer of security that makes it much harder for hackers to gain access to your account.
 

 In addition to enabling 2FA, there are a few other security and privacy tips you should follow when using NuGet. First, make sure to use a strong, unique password for your account. This will make it much harder for hackers to guess your password or use a brute-force attack to crack it.
 

 Second, be careful when installing packages from NuGet. Make sure to only install packages from trusted sources and verify that the package is what it claims to be before installing it. This will help prevent you from accidentally installing malware or other malicious code on your system.
 

 Finally, make sure to keep your Authenticator app and other security tools up to date. This will ensure that you're always protected against the latest threats and vulnerabilities.
 

 By following these tips and enabling 2FA, you can help keep your NuGet account and your sensitive data safe and secure.
