How to Set Up Google 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)
In today’s digital world, everything is getting smarter and more connected — and so are hackers. As technology advances, so do the risks to your personal data and earnings. This is why securing your online accounts is no longer optional — it's necessary.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is one of the most effective ways to protect your accounts. While one type of 2FA uses your mobile number, the other — and more secure method — is Google 2FA, which works offline and adds an extra layer of protection.

Update: Must-Know After Setup
After completing your 2FA setup, it’s very important to log out and then log in again to the same account (like Binance, KuCoin, Facebook, or Google) to test if your 2FA is working properly.
If you are unable to log in, it means there might have been a mistake during the setup process. In that case, you need to re-check your steps and repeat the process carefully.
Very Important: During the 2FA setup, you will see a unique recovery code or master key (shown below the QR code).
You must save this code in a secure place like a notebook or notepad. This recovery key is extremely important if you ever lose your phone. Never share it with anyone — it’s your private security key for account recovery.
Stay alert, stay secure. This one step can save your crypto and personal data from being lost forever.
Important Note:
The process of enabling Google 2FA is almost identical on all crypto exchanges. While a few platforms may have minor layout differences, the core setup remains the same.
Stay Safe. Stay Secured.
