I just found out bitcoin and I chose to use online wallet but there is a fear feel that makes me often check did my bitcoin is still safe. I have read some articles there saying for me to use 2fa as additional security. is that true?

Hah. It's normal that you feel a bit paranoid since we are talking about money here.
2 Factor Authentication does help your bitcoin wallet become safe. But take note that it doesn't mean that it makes it invulnerable from thieves. But hey, an extra layer of security is definitely a big help.

What wallet are you using if you dont mind us asking?

P.S. Good for you for trying out Bitcoin!

If there is still a possibility to be hacked why online wallet advise me to add 2fa?

Because it makes the hacking harder. Specially if you keep the 2fa code on your phone. Nothing is perfect, but why not have the extra added layer of security?

Best thing to do is invest in a hard wallet for security.

Enabling 2fa is recommend for all online accounts where possible not only wallets but email access too because it safe guards your bitcoins from unauthorized access from email or wallet direct access. I would say 2fa will keep your wallet safe and make it difficult to be hacked.
