What Is Two-Factor Authentication
Two-Factor Authentication is a secure way of getting a verification code before someone can access your Facebook account, in order words if someone tries to log in to your Facebook account you will be sent a code that will grant the person access to your Facebook account, and if the person doesn't have the code they can't log in to your Facebook. And it is seen that when a person logs into your account, what they do is change all your details and use theirs in place of yours and when that is done you won't be able to recover your account again. With no further ado let's get started.
