Two-step authentication, also known as two-factor verification, is an authentication method used to improve account security. During the login process, users are required to provide two different types of authentication information, usually including something they know (such as a password) and something they have (such as a mobile phone verification code or a numeric code generated by an authenticator app). By introducing a second verification factor, two-step authentication can effectively prevent account risks caused by password leakage and provide an additional layer of security.
