Why you should use 2FA for Open Collective?

Open Collective is a platform that allows communities to collect and disburse funds transparently. With so much sensitive information being shared on the platform, it's important to take security seriously. That's where 2-factor authentication comes in.
 

 Enabling 2FA on Open Collective adds an extra layer of security to your account. This means that even if someone manages to get hold of your password, they won't be able to access your account without the second factor, which is usually a code generated by an app like ours.
 

 At our Authenticator app, we take security and privacy seriously. We use industry-standard encryption to protect your data, and we never store any of your information on our servers. This means that even if our servers were compromised, your data would still be safe.
 

 In addition to enabling 2FA, there are a few other security and privacy tips you should follow when using Open Collective. First, make sure to use a strong, unique password for your account. This will make it much harder for anyone to guess or crack your password. Second, be careful when clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources. These could be phishing attempts designed to steal your login credentials or infect your computer with malware.
 

 By following these tips and enabling 2FA on Open Collective, you can help keep your account and your funds safe and secure.
