The 3 Golden Rules of 2FA Security

Maximize your account protection by following these three essential two-factor authentication rules.

Having a 2FA app is only the first step. To truly secure your digital identity, follow these three golden rules: 1. Never share your Base32 Secret Key. Treat the setup QR code or text string like a master password. 2. Always keep a backup. Because 2fas Plus is entirely client-side, your keys live in your browser. Use the 'Export Backup' feature and store the encrypted JSON file in a safe, offline location (like a USB drive). 3. Beware of real-time phishing. Advanced hackers use fake login pages to steal your 6-digit code in real-time. Always verify the URL of the website before entering your TOTP code.
