Detailed explanation-1: -Two-factor authentication adds an additional layer of security to the authentication process by making it harder for attackers to gain access to a person’s devices or online accounts because, even if the victim’s password is hacked, a password alone is not enough to pass the authentication check.
Detailed explanation-2: -2FA is essential to web security because it immediately neutralizes the risks associated with compromised passwords. If a password is hacked, guessed, or even phished, that’s no longer enough to give an intruder access: without approval at the second factor, a password alone is useless.
Detailed explanation-3: -When you’re setting up 2FA, you’re asked to prove that you’re the owner of your phone and the associated cell number, and that gives you the authorization to generate and receive codes. Unless hackers get access to your phone as well your email address and password, they won’t be able to log in.
Detailed explanation-4: -If you’ve lost access to your primary phone, you can verify it’s you with: Another phone signed in to your Google Account. Another phone number you’ve added in the 2-Step Verification section of your Google Account. A backup code you previously saved.
Detailed explanation-5: -Two-factor authentication, or 2FA, is a security protocol that requires logging in with both a password and a second verification method to confirm your identity. The second factor usually involves something in your possession, like a smartphone or a physical key.
