[QUOTE="mkoundo, post: 1012613, member: 64426"] Hi, In addition to the great advice given by others, I'd add: a) you may want to use a 2fa authenticator that generates a numerical code instead of using an authenticator that asks you to approve/deny a login request. The advantage of this approach is that you wont be notified every time someone tries to get into your account and removes the possibility that you may accidentally approve the request. b) yes, a yubikey is considered more secure than using a 2fa app. If you consider your security that critical, I would go for a yubikey.
