Summary
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a method of establishing access to an online account or computer system that requires the user to provide two different types of information. A factor in this context simply means a way to convince a computer system or online service that you are who say you are, so the system can determine if you have the rights to access the data services that you're trying to access. By far the most common authentication factor in use today is the username/password pair, and since most accounts only require a password for access, most systems thus use single-factor authentication for security. With two-factor authentication, you'll need to both provide a password and prove your identity some other way to gain access.
As passwords have become increasingly less secure, whether through data breaches or poor user practices, more and more individuals are moving to 2FA to secure their digital lives — and many service providers are encouraging or mandating the shift as well.
We'll dive into the details of how different two-factor authentication methods work in a minute, but before we go there, let's first answer the question why. After all, passwords have been the standard for everyday infosecurity for a generation now. Adding an additional step just makes logging in

Summary
• 2-Step Verification is a security feature that uses both your password and your phone to protect your account.
• When you sign in, you can choose to not use 2-Step Verification on a particular computer, but it will be required when you sign in from another computer.
• Most people only have one layer of security - their password - to protect their account, but with 2-Step Verification, if a bad guy hacks through your password layer, he'll still need your phone or Security Key to get into your account.
• Codes are uniquely crafted for your account when you need them, and each code can only be used once.

Summary
• There are no free Vbucks in Fortnite.
• Epic Games has confirmed this.
• Unless you're winning some in a competition from, say, a well-known streamer, or being rewarded directly by Epic Games, the freebies don't exist.
• Anything that sounds too good to be true, likely is, and anything that ever asks for your login information that isn't you logging in to your Epic Account is almost certainly bad.
• The first thing to do to protect yourself is don't click on any of these links. Never, ever.
• But the other thing you can, and definitely should do, is to add two-factor authentication, a.k.a, 2FA.
• Also, if you have any payment information stored in your Epic account, maybe remove that, and just enter it every time.
• However much protection you apply, don't leave thieving scoundrels any breadcrumbs.
• In this scenario, you could be handing over much more than just your Epic account information.
• It's also a good time to remind you to add 2FA to your Microsoft Account if you didn't already.
