Heres how you can secure Threads with two-factor authentication

Meta recently rolled out a new Microblogging App, very similar to Twitter, namely Threads. People showed their love to threads very quickly or maybe they are just needy because Elon Musk has made some unexpected changes which they didn’t really like. 

If you are a Threads user and likes to keep top notch security of your social media then in this article you’ll find how to enable two-factor authentication on your Threads profile.

Methods of two-factor authentications

Instagram

There are three methods by which you can use two-factor authentication on Threads. 

First is an authentication app which will be recommended by Threads. You need to download the app and link your Instagram account with it as Threads uses your Instagram as an identifier. This authentication app will generate a code which you will need while logging in. The code changes within seconds.

Second authentication method can be used through SMS. You will get a code on your registered mobile number through SMS which you will have to put while logging in. 

Lastly, there is also an option to use Whatsapp as your two-factor authentication method. You need to enable text messages to activate this method.
