MFA / 2FA

A second security step that protects your account even if your password leaks.

MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) or 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)
adds an extra security layer to your crypto accounts.

Instead of logging in with just a password, you also confirm using:

  • A code from an authenticator app (like Google Authenticator or Authy)
  • A hardware key (like YubiKey)
  • Or a one-time code via SMS (less secure)

This makes it much harder for hackers to access your account,
even if they know your password.


💡 Lanzo Tip

Always use app-based 2FA, not SMS.
