Two-Factor Authentication
Quick Definition
A security process that requires two forms of verification to access an account. Understanding this on BountyCore helps you earn and keep more points.
Detailed Explanation
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a security process that requires two forms of verification to access an account. It's like having a combination lock with two layers of protection. The first layer is usually a password, and the second layer is a verification code sent to your phone or email. This adds an extra layer of security to prevent unauthorized access to your account, especially when earning points on BountyCore. With 2FA, even if someone knows your password, they won't be able to access your account without the verification code. This helps keep your account and earnings safe from hackers and other malicious activities.
