Verification codes made easy
The extra code feels like a nuisance for ten seconds and saves you weeks of trouble if a password ever leaks.
Text message
Simple, but only works while your phone number on file is current.
Authenticator app
Works without mobile signal and is harder for attackers to intercept.
Tip: store backup codes in a password manager the moment you set up verification.
