Two Factor Authentication, is it difficult to use?

Don't know how to activate Two Factor Authentication on your accounts? 

Setting up 2FA varies from platform to platform, but generally the steps are pretty similar:

  • Go to the security settings of the account you want to secure.
  • Look for the option to enable 2FA and select it.
  • Choose the second factor you want to use (e.g. SMS, authentication app, etc.).
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the second factor.
  • Test that everything is set up correctly by logging out and logging in again with the second factor.

Take a look at the instruction pages

Most used services offer some form of 2FA and have a short instruction page.
