Yeah for sure 2FA is safe in every way. it's secure your wallet by adding one extra step to logging into your Wallet/Account. 2FA is actually adding an extra layer of security to your Account/Wallet.
For the following Reason, 2FA is best for everyone
* Adding an additional layer of security to Account/Wallet
* Blocking hacker attacks automatically
* Secure your Account/Wallet rather than somebody knowing your password
After my studies at google, I discover that some new studies say that 2FA is not safe and
are being hacked and not using an intervention from the user. The assault is known as "man-in-the-center" but am not sure about it is the truth or lie.

It looks like the victim of  "man-in-the-middle" accidentally clicks a phishing site that looks like a mirrored image of the target site.  That way the user sends information to the phishers database then the phisher sends the data to the target website.  So it is basically the owner sending information of his account to the phisher.  Not the 2fa being hacked.  No matter what the security in this scenario is, it will not prevent the phisher from logging into his account when the owner tries to log into his account.



Anything that adds a layer of security delays a hacker from breaking into our accounts. Email verification, 2fa, and mobile verification can increase the security of our accounts.  Combining them can synergize the effect.
