     2FA adds an extra layer of security to your login process by requiring a second form of authentication, such as a code sent to your phone or a fingerprint scan. This makes it much harder for hackers to gain access to your account, even if they have your password. 
     
    
     By using our Authenticator app, you can easily store and manage your 2FA codes for The Ohio State University and other platforms. Our app is designed with security and privacy in mind, so you can trust that your codes are safe with us. 
     
    
     In addition to enabling 2FA, there are other steps you can take to protect your account. Make sure to use a strong, unique password and never share it with anyone. Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks when accessing sensitive information, and always log out of your account when you're finished. 
     
    
     By taking these precautions and using our Authenticator app, you can rest assured that your account is secure and your personal information is protected. Don't wait - enable 2FA today and stay one step ahead of potential threats.
