 How To Setup Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) On Facebook

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security method that requires two different ways of proving your identity. It is commonly used in everyday life. For example paying with a credit card not only requires the card, but also a PIN, a signature, or an ID. With 1FA becoming increasingly unreliable as a security measure, 2FA is rapidly gaining importance for logging into online accounts.

To secure your Facebook account from hackers, it's very necessary that you setup your 2 factor authentication. In this post, I'll teach you how to do it with ease.

To use 2FA on Facebook, you'll need an account with a third-party authentication app such as Google Authenticator. If you have the the authenticator app and also created an account, then all that's left to do now is set up 2FA on Facebook using the authentication app. Here's how...
