    Why you should use 2FA for Scaleway?

    If you're using Scaleway, it's important to enable 2-factor authentication (2FA) to keep your account secure. With 2FA, you'll need to enter a code from your Authenticator app in addition to your password to log in. This adds an extra layer of security to your account and helps prevent unauthorized access.
     
    
     Scaleway is a cloud computing platform that offers a range of services, including virtual private servers, object storage, and more. With so much sensitive data stored on the platform, it's crucial to take steps to protect your account.
     
    
     Enabling 2FA is a simple and effective way to do this. It ensures that even if someone manages to obtain your password, they won't be able to access your account without the code from your Authenticator app. This can help prevent data breaches and keep your information safe.
     
    
     In addition to enabling 2FA, there are other security and privacy tips you should follow when using Scaleway. Make sure to use a strong, unique password and avoid using the same password for multiple accounts. Keep your software and operating system up to date to ensure you have the latest security patches. And be cautious when clicking on links or downloading attachments, as these can be used to spread malware or steal your information.
     
    
     By taking these steps, you can help keep your Scaleway account secure and protect your sensitive data from unauthorized access.
