It is easy to set up two factor. You set an app, click a couple of boxes and it starts workings.
But Make sure you know how you can get access to your accounts if you phone is lost, damages, or inoperable.
Some forms of two factor require you to set up two at the same time where you store the second one in a safe space if the first get lost.
Some ask you to print some codes and save that as a way to log in in an emergency.
Think it through so you don’t get locked out.
