2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) is an extra layer of security added to your account.
After entering your password, you must provide a 2FA verification code to complete the login or confirm important actions.
2FA codes can be delivered via:
Authentication apps (Google Authenticator, Authy, Microsoft Authenticator, etc.)
SMS messages
Email (less secure)
Physical security keys (less common)
Typically:
A 2FA code is valid for 30–60 seconds
After that, the code expires automatically
Common reasons include:
Incorrect phone number or email
Poor mobile signal or no internet connection
Authenticator app time not synchronized
Too many requests in a short period
Email filtered into the Spam/Junk folder
👉 Solution:
Double-check your information, sync your device time, or try again after a few minutes.
❌ No.
Each 2FA code:
Can only be used once
Is valid for a very short time
❌ Not automatically.
You must:
Transfer your authenticator app to the new device, or
Use backup/recovery codes, or
Contact support to reset 2FA after identity verification
You should:
Use your backup/recovery codes, if available
Contact customer support
Verify your identity to temporarily disable or reset 2FA
2FA helps:
Protect your account even if your password is compromised
Prevent unauthorized access and brute-force attacks
Secure sensitive actions and transactions
❌ Never.
Support staff will never ask for:
Your 2FA code
Your password
Your recovery codes
Yes, but it is strongly discouraged.
Disabling 2FA significantly reduces your account security.
| Password | 2FA Code |
|---|---|
| Static | Changes frequently |
| Can be guessed | Extremely hard to guess |
| Long-term use | Short-lived |
❌ No.
Instead, securely store your backup/recovery codes in a safe place.
