Endpoint Security vs Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Endpoint security encompasses the comprehensive protection of devices and access points—computers, smartphones, tablets, and hardware wallets—that connect to cryptocurrency networks and services, defending against malware, unauthorized access, and data theft.

Security method requiring two different forms of verification to access an account—typically something you know (password) and something you have (phone, authenticator app, or hardware key)—providing critical protection against unauthorized access even if passwords are compromised. Also known as: 2FA.
