What about 2FA?

-

>>> Two–factor authentica­tion (2FA) provides an additional layer of security to passwords by adding the requiremen­t for a physical device to be present when logging in. This means even if someone obtains your password, they can’t log in without access to the device in question — this can be a physical security key, or a dedicated 2FA app such as Google Authentica­tor or Authy (authy.com) — installed on your phone. For more on how 2FA works and what to look out for, see “Authentica­tor apps…” on p72.
