    Why you should use 2FA for Whois?

    Whois is a platform that provides information about domain names, including the owner's contact details and registration date. While this information can be useful for legitimate purposes, it can also be exploited by cybercriminals to launch attacks. That's why it's important to enable 2-factor authentication (2FA) on your Whois account.
     
    
     By enabling 2FA, you add an extra layer of security to your account. This means that even if someone manages to obtain your password, they won't be able to access your account without the second factor, which is usually a code sent to your phone or generated by an app. This makes it much harder for hackers to gain access to your personal information or use your account for malicious purposes.
     
    
     In addition to enabling 2FA, there are other steps you can take to protect your privacy and security on Whois. For example, you should make sure that your contact details are up-to-date and accurate, and that you only provide the minimum amount of information necessary. You should also be wary of unsolicited emails or phone calls asking for your personal information, as these could be phishing attempts.
     
    
     Overall, enabling 2FA on your Whois account is a simple but effective way to protect your personal information and prevent cyberattacks. By taking a few extra steps to secure your account, you can enjoy the benefits of the platform without putting yourself at risk.
