Whenever there is an option for Two Factor Authentication (2FA), you should use it!!

Which means we need one on steemit?

Thanks for the info thedaddy

Absolutely right. Steemit will be a huge target for scammers and thieves. Especially when news breaks to the mainstream of newly wealthy but less tech savvy bloggers.

I can't believe Kraken got hacked. 2FA is always a must when it involves the crypto realm. https://steemit.com/steemit/@domavila/two-factor-authentication-and-why-we-need-it-now
