Passwords alone are insufficient. Billions of credentials leak every year through breaches. Two-factor authentication (2FA) requires a second proof—usually your phone—making stolen passwords far less useful.
Types of 2FA
SMS codes are better than nothing but vulnerable to SIM swap attacks. Authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, Authy) generate time-based codes offline. Hardware keys offer the strongest protection for high-value accounts.
What to protect first
Prioritize email (password reset hub), banking, crypto exchanges, and any platform storing payment methods. Enable 2FA on REDWOLF and your course dashboard after signup.
Backup codes
When enabling 2FA, save backup codes in a secure password manager. Losing your phone without backups can lock you out permanently.
