2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)

DEFINITION

2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) is an extra layer of security used to make sure that people trying to gain access to an online account are who they say they are. First, you enter your username and password. Then, instead of gaining access immediately, you are required to provide another piece of information.

This second factor is usually a temporary code sent to your smartphone via SMS or an authenticator app, or a fingerprint scan.

Why it matters for your legacy

2FA is great for security but a nightmare for heirs. Even if they have your password, they cannot log in without your unlocked smartphone to receive the 2FA code. This is why planning access to your devices is crucial. ➜ Digital Estate Planning
