  2 factor authentication (2FA) is an essential security measure for cryptocurrency exchanges. It adds an extra layer of protection to your account by requiring two forms of identification. The first factor is something you know, like a password, and the second factor is something you have, like a mobile device. When you log in to your exchange account, you'll need to enter your password and then provide a verification code generated by an authentication app on your mobile device. This ensures that even if someone manages to guess or steal your password, they won't be able to access your account without the second factor. It's a simple yet effective way to enhance the security of your cryptocurrency holdings.
