Implementing Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your Wingo account by requiring a second form of verification. This step significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access.
By enabling 2FA, you protect your account even if your password is compromised. Learn how to set up 2FA in your account settings.
- Choose authentication methods: SMS, email, or authenticator app.
- Follow prompts to complete setup.

Regularly Update Your Password
