How to set up 2FA on your Blink wallet?

Why is it important to add 2FA?

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is crucial for securing your wallet. Here are several reasons why adding 2FA is important:

• Enhanced Security: 2FA adds an extra layer of security beyond just a password. Even if someone manages to obtain your password, they would still need the second factor (like a code sent to your phone) to access your wallet.
• Protection Against Phishing: Phishing attacks often aim to steal your login credentials. With 2FA, even if you inadvertently provide your password to a malicious site, the attacker would still be unable to access your wallet without the second factor.
• Mitigation of Unauthorized Access: If your device is lost or stolen, 2FA can help prevent unauthorized access to your wallet. The thief would need both your password and the second factor to gain entry.
•  Increased Trust: Using 2FA can enhance your confidence in the security of your wallet. Knowing that there is an additional layer of protection can provide peace of mind
