Why you should use 2FA for Thrift Savings Plan?

Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is a retirement savings plan for federal employees and members of the uniformed services. It's important to enable 2-factor authentication (2FA) on your TSP account to protect your retirement savings from unauthorized access.
 

 2FA adds an extra layer of security to your account 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.
 

 TSP takes security and privacy seriously, and they offer several options for 2FA, including using a security key or a mobile app like our Authenticator app. By using our app, you can store all your 2FA codes in one place, making it easy to access them when you need them.
 

 To further protect your TSP account, make sure to use a strong, unique password and never share it with anyone. Avoid using public Wi-Fi when accessing your account, and always log out when you're finished.
 

 Enabling 2FA on your TSP account is a simple but effective way to protect your retirement savings. Don't wait until it's too late – take action today to secure your financial future.
