How does 2FA enhance the security of my Coinbase account?

Can you explain how enabling 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) enhances the security of my Coinbase account? I've heard it's important, but I'm not sure why.

    Enabling 2FA adds an extra layer of security to your Coinbase account. It requires you to provide a second form of authentication, usually a code generated by a mobile app, in addition to your password. This means that even if someone manages to obtain your password, they won't be able to access your account without the second factor. It greatly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and protects your funds and personal information.

    2FA is like having a bouncer at the entrance of a nightclub. It ensures that only authorized individuals can enter. In the case of your Coinbase account, enabling 2FA acts as that bouncer, making it much harder for hackers or unauthorized users to gain access. It's an essential security measure that everyone should enable to protect their digital assets.
