    Why you should use 2FA for Vancity?

    Vancity is a financial institution that offers a range of banking services to its customers. To ensure the security of your account, Vancity recommends enabling 2-factor authentication (2FA) for all your online transactions.
     
    
     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.
     
    
     When using Vancity's online banking platform, it's important to keep your login credentials secure. This means choosing a strong password and never sharing it with anyone. You should also be wary of phishing scams, which can trick you into giving away your login details.
     
    
     In addition to enabling 2FA, Vancity also offers other security features to protect your account. These include fraud alerts, which notify you of any suspicious activity on your account, and the ability to set up transaction limits to prevent unauthorized transactions.
     
    
     Overall, enabling 2FA is a simple and effective way to protect your Vancity account from unauthorized access. By taking a few extra steps to secure your account, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your finances are safe and secure.
