2FA Notifier Extension

Two Factor Authentication (2FA) is a fantastic way to make it harder for hackers to hijack your accounts, even if they somehow steal your password. But, it only works if you actually enable it!!

2FA Notifier lets you know which sites you visit support 2FA and specifically how to enable it.

Anytime you visit a site that supports 2FA, you will get a notification that let's you know. Clicking on the notification will bring you directly to the site's documentation explaining how to enable 2FA. The right information, right when you need it!

Better protect your accounts from hackers by installing 2FA Notifier and enabling 2FA everywhere you can!
