No more excuses! Microsoft, Google, and Facebook make it easy to improve your account security with two-factor authentication. Here's how.

Facebook discontinued its 2FA (two-factor authentication) code generator for the unversed. So, if you are lost on how to log into Facebook without a code generator, this post is for you.

Whether you're getting extra social or enjoying Facebook Gaming, it's a good idea to protect your account with two-factor authentication.

Facebook then creates a temporary passcode (it lasts only 30 seconds) that's based on some authentication standards and the time of day — but Facebook won't tell anyone what that code is.

Released on Monday for iOS and Android, the latest version of Google Authenticator lets you back up and sync your one-time 2FA codes to your Google account via the cloud.

Earlier this year Facebook came under fire for spamming users with two-factor authentication codes. The social network said that was a bug.

Google isn’t the only firm offering 2FA sign-in codes to provide backups. Since 2019, Microsoft has allowed people to use a “backup and restore” tool for its Microsoft Authenticator app.
