What is double authentication (2FA)?
Double Authentication (2FA) is an additional layer of security for your account. Instead of just entering a password, you also need a second form of verification to access your accounts. This double authentication is mandatory to edit the settings of your production application.
Why is double authentication important?
Using only passwords for account security can be risky, as they can be stolen or guessed. 2FA adds an extra layer, making it significantly harder for unauthorized users to access your accounts, even if they have your password.
We recommend that you set it up on your Bridge account and it will be mandatory for you to set up to make sensible action on your account.

Should I still use a strong password if I have Two-Factor Authentication enabled?
Yes, absolutely! Double Authentication adds an extra layer of security, but a strong, unique password is still crucial. Use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, and avoid easily guessable phrases or personal information.
