Why 2FA is non-negotiable for crypto
Attackers don’t need to “hack blockchains” to steal assets—they phish or reuse compromised passwords. Adding a second factor blocks most automated takeovers and many targeted ones. Google’s published research found that basic two-step verification dramatically reduces successful account hijacking attempts, and U.S. cyber authorities urge moving toward phishing-resistant methods as the long-term fix.

Why MFA matters (and which kinds really help)
Google’s large-scale study shows that even basic hygiene massively cuts risk; adding a recovery phone blocked the vast majority of automated and bulk phishing attempts in testing, and stronger factors performed even better. Security keys and other phishing-resistant methods are the gold standard for stopping targeted phishing.
Government guidance now clearly recommends phishing-resistant MFA—namely…
