Recommended 2FA Methods
- Authenticator apps (Authy, Google Authenticator) — preferred.
- Hardware keys (YubiKey) — strongest where supported.
- SMS — usable but weaker due to SIM-swap risks.
Backup & Recovery
Store backup/ recovery codes offline (paper or metal backup). Do not screenshot or store codes in cloud notes.
Pro tip: Keep one backup in a separate secure location (e.g., safe deposit box).
Protect Your Email
Your email is often the gateway to account recovery — secure it with a strong password and its own 2FA.
