## Source string
Many websites offer two-factor authentication as a safer method than using
just a password. For example, you can configure an authentication app, like
Google Authenticator, to generate a one-time code of 6 digits when signing in
to a website.

## Comment
Here I'm explaining to the reader what is two-factor authentication (2FA).
Even though 2FA, it's pretty common these days, different websites use
different terminology and tools, and I suspect the whole thing to need such an
explanation to put less techie readers in context. As such, I prefer referring
to the most common and well-know app for TOTP, which seems to be Google
Authenticator. We're not recommending to use Google Authenticator in Tails.
