Enabling Two Factor Authentication will protect you from phishing attempts from hackers and scammers, this can be anything from users pretending to be Mods to gain information or other means. MODS WILL NEVER ASK FOR ACCOUNT INFORMATION!

1. To set up two-factor authentication (2FA) on Reddit, follow these steps:
2. Log In to Reddit: Go to the Reddit website or app and log in to your account.
3. Go to User Settings: Click on your profile icon in the top right corner, then select “User Settings” from the dropdown menu.
4. Navigate to Security: In the User Settings menu, click on the “Security” tab.
5. Enable Two-Factor Authentication: Look for the option to enable two-factor authentication. You may need to enter your password again for security reasons.
6. Choose Your 2FA Method: You can choose to use an authentication app (like Google Authenticator or Authy) or receive SMS codes. If using an app, you'll need to scan a QR code provided by Reddit.
7. Enter the Verification Code: After setting up your method, enter the verification code generated by your authentication app or sent via SMS to confirm the setup.
8. Backup Codes: Reddit will provide you with backup codes. Save these in a secure place; they can be used if you lose access to your 2FA method.
9. Save Changes: Make sure to save any changes you’ve made.
10. Once 2FA is enabled, you’ll need to enter a verification code each time you log in from a new device or after logging out.
