Why use 2FA (Two-Factor authentication)?
Many websites have only one layer of protection: a username and password. 2FA protects you by providing an additional layer of security. With 2FA, if your password is ever compromised, you will only be able to gain access to a site if you have 2FA setup on your mobile device. Hence, the need for two-factor authentication.
Please note there are two steps to setting up two-factor authentication: downloading the Twilio Authy app to your mobile device and enabling two-factor authentication in officiating.com.
