Why 2FA on macOS Matters More Than Ever

While macOS is known for strong native security features, even Apple devices are not immune to:

  • Phishing attacks

  • Stolen iCloud credentials

  • Keylogging malware

  • Weak password reuse

Cybersecurity experts agree: adding 2FA is one of the most effective steps Mac users can take to reduce account takeover risk.

🔒 "If you only use a password to authenticate an account, it’s relatively easy for an attacker to access your data."
