    Why you should use 2FA for Substack?

    Substack is a popular platform for writers and publishers to create and distribute newsletters. With the rise of cyber attacks and data breaches, it's important to take extra steps to protect your account. That's where 2-factor authentication (2FA) comes in.
     
    
     Enabling 2FA on your Substack account adds an extra layer of security to your login process. Instead of just entering your password, you'll also need to enter a unique code generated by an app like our Authenticator. This means that even if someone manages to steal your password, they won't be able to access your account without the code.
     
    
     At our Authenticator, we take security and privacy seriously. We use industry-standard encryption to protect your data and never store any of your login information. Plus, our app is easy to use and compatible with a wide range of platforms.
     
    
     To ensure the highest level of security, we recommend enabling 2FA on all of your online accounts, not just Substack. And remember to always use strong, unique passwords and never share them with anyone. Stay safe online!
