How does enabling two-factor authentication help in preventing phishing attacks on accounts?
Enabling two-factor authentication helps prevent phishing attacks on accounts by adding an extra layer of security beyond just a password. Even if a phisher gets hold of your password, they would still need the second factor (such as a verification code sent to your phone) to access the account. This makes it significantly harder for attackers to gain unauthorized access, thus enhancing security and mitigating the risks associated with phishing attacks.
