Why You Should Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on Your AmmoSquared Account

In today’s digital age, securing your online account is more important than ever. One effective way to enhance your account security is by enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). This added layer of protection helps safeguard your personal information and ensures that only you can access your account.

What Is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?

2FA is a security process that requires two forms of identification before granting access to your account:

1. Something You Know: Your password.
   
   
2. Something You Have: A verification code sent to your phone via text message or generated by an authenticator app.
   
   

This dual verification makes it significantly harder for unauthorized individuals to access your account, even if they have your password.

Why Is 2FA Important?

• Enhanced Security: Passwords alone are vulnerable to hacking attempts. 2FA adds an extra layer of defense, making it more difficult for cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access.
  
  
• Protection Against Phishing: Even if attackers obtain your password through phishing, they would still need the second factor to access your account, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
  
  

The Importance of Adding a Phone Number

Adding a phone number to your AmmoSquared account serves multiple purposes:

• Account Recovery: In case you forget your password or need to recover your account, having a phone number linked allows us to assist you more efficiently.
  
  
• Shipment Notifications: We can notify you promptly about your orders, ensuring you stay informed about your shipments.
  
  
• Enhanced Security: A phone number is essential for receiving 2FA codes, adding an extra layer of security to your account.
