    Why you should use 2FA for Upwork?

    Upwork is a popular platform for freelancers and clients to connect and work together. 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 your Upwork account adds an extra layer of security to protect your account from unauthorized access.
