Today Tesla started to roll out two-factor authentication across it's app and website.
Two-factor authentication enables a more secure way to log into an account to prevent unwanted access by having the user also confirm an unique code that is sent to their phone. Tesla has said 2FA was coming soon, with Elon first acknowledging it in 2019 on Twitter, but it has been pushed back several times over higher priority projects.
Fair point. Coming soon. We’re making foundational upgrades to the core Tesla corporate OS. 2FA right after that.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 5, 2019
Signing up for two-factor authenication is something you'll need to enable on your account. If you're interested in enabling it, you can follow the support page on Tesla's website.
Two-factor authentication has been a recent trend in the last few years with many companies adopting the process. Tesla is notably late with it's implementation given what is at stake, but nonetheless it's a very welcome change.
