This method requires both the user\u2019s credentials (e.g. username and password) and a second factor, such as a verification code sent to the user\u2019s mobile device. Here \u2063are the key components of\u2062 app-based two-factor authentication: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Username and Password: the user must enter the credentials provided\u2064 by \u200cthe service or \u2064website.<\/li>\n<li>Verification\u2064 Code: this code is \u200dsent to the user\u2019s \u200dmobile device via an app\u2064 or SMS message.<\/li>\n<li>Authentication Server: this is the secure server that verifies the\u2064 user\u2019s identity based\u2062 on the two verification factors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With two-factor\u200d authentication, \u200bhackers and other malicious actors will have a much\u2062 harder time \u200baccessing the user\u2019s sensitive information or accounts.\u2064 It is recommended that users who\u200d want to maximize their\u200d security enable two-factor authentication wherever it\u200c is available &#8211; \u2064on all their online accounts.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2-more-secure-login-with-app-based-2fa\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_More_Secure_%E2%80%8DLogin_with_App_%E2%80%8DBased%E2%80%8D_2FA\"><\/span>2.
