Do you need to access the platform with 2FA and would like to better understand how it works? Come on.
What is Two Factor Authentication?
To understand how it works, it is necessary to understand what Two Factor Authentication is. Two-factor authentication, or if you prefer 2FA, is a security procedure that guarantees double protection for your data.
How it works?
2FA consists of generating six-digit verification codes to confirm that it is you who are trying to access a particular account / platform. These codes last 20 seconds, after which they expire and a new code is generated.
This procedure presents this dynamic because the authenticator needs to be synchronized with Google, and it is through this synchronization that the codes are validated.
