I am wondering which wallet you’re making use of, but I can guess that whatever wallet it is that you’re using would be an online wallet or possibly an exchange, which is not fully safe.
As for making use of 2FA, I believe that two factor authentication can really be helpful in securing your account, as it wouldn’t be as easy to penetrate as someone who has only activated just a password for their account; having PIN and 2FA activated would create a double layer of security for your wallet. But I would recommend that you switch to making use of a trusted wallet, and more likely an offline wallet.

Surely there is no 100% guarantee that we use 2FA it will be safe, if we aim for long -term investments, the best thing is to store assets in private wallet, do not store assets in exchanges because if we are busy then not logged in for a long time then our assets Can be lost and when they want to log in again they ask KYC and many reasons.
Long term or short term investments that's doesn't matter when you own a decent amount of money then i think you should buy a hardware wallet (i'm using safepal wallet from the last year) to keep safe your assets. Keep store your assets on the exchanges it will never safe even in the top tier exchanges.I don't know if you remember the time that Binance was hacked, one of the things for which it was hacked and almost everything stolen was because they managed to find the 2FA codes and from there everything was very simple, I don't know how they would do it but at that time They only talked about hacking, so it can be said that nothing is safe, even in a wallet, be it electrum or another, it is more viable that it has more security, a private key or the set of phrases because the 2fa already had its vulnerability, then based In this, it is not to be alarmist but I prefer to have the 2fa password sha256 and why not, another layer of security.
I think the problem in your case is that someon has manged to stea or clone your simcard information and managed to reset tje authenticator as the firs thing they do is send you an email and send you a phone message.
Maybe have different thing when you save assets on crypto wallet exchange market like Binance, Houbi or Kucoin. When detecting with access log in different IP have confirmation to your email account, but I think you loss controlling maybe save assets on wallet like Safepal or trustwallet and Metamask. Better if save assets on exchange market, use 2fa and you fund keep safety, actually when have some one hack your account and change password you have change with one days for withdrawing suspend and get back access to your exchange account.

That's really bad but whenever you are having fund in a wallet you should always make sure you protect your wallet very well. You using 2fa as your security is a good idea because it's going to improve the security of your wallet, before anybody can access your wallet they will have to input one time code with expires mostly after 30 seconds. Am not saying using 2fa guaranty maximum security but it will increase your security level.
Indeed, it was been highly recommended to all as this will enhance security aside from email verification. As a fundholder, thinking about the security of our money is our top priority. We can't underestimate hackers by now as the more careless we are, the more we give them a chance to have an entry. Like to expose your address that holds a huge amount is not a good idea
but with the 2FA protections gives them a hard time cracking it.
One mistake or one reason for the hackers to penetrate in your account for sure they will grab the opportunity right away.
Cases of hacking can only be avoided by the owner itself, by doing your extra securities in your wallet or in your account will give hackers
hard time to deal with you, 2fa is another layer that can give you good protection. You should adopt and install this feature to tighten
the security of your wallet/account.

as far as I use 2fa there is no security that can be penetrated by hackers, because the security code will always change every 5 seconds. Every wallet and exchange I use must use 2fa , always recommended by them, I'm sure you should install this, although there are always loopholes, but I never lost while using this.
2FA so far are the safest option and yes it changes all the time but it can also be compromised especially if you fall for a hack attempt asking for that pin. Its good to always use the security option available on that wallet, don’t hesitate to use it because its for your own good and you have the money to protect, better to be safe always.

Obviously as what others mentioned in here, there is no direct connection between 2fa and your usual crypto transaction so no, OP. Since the transaction went through already, I would be more concerned on the current device that you are using since the hacker could possibly more damage which I hope I am wrong. Either do a virus scan or clean install of your device.
Start from there then start implementing 2FA and PIN if you really wish for an extra layer of security.
You might be right that his device is already infected by some malware or viruses and it's not safe to use it anymore. He can do some scanning, hard resetting the phone or completely logout all his accounts and transfer to a fresh device and next time he will need to be more careful on what he was dealing with. Who wouldn't want to have an extra layer of security? Unless if he don't care that his funds will get hacked one day (which already happened). I bet he changed his mind now.

This is a sad way to bid farewell to one's hard earned cash. I don't know why some crypto enthusiasts will decide not to password their wallets. Isn't it like having a bank account without setting up a password for it? It sounds wrong. Even if you don't feel the need to set up a 2FA for it, you should at least put a pin or password to it. You don't need to make everything very easy for a thief breaking into your eallett. A strong pin should give the thief some sweat exercise before they crack it open. Sorry about your loss. Sadly, there's nothing else you can do on that now.

The importance of 2fa for keeping your account or your wallet safe is immense.If your account is automated by 2FA, hackers will never be able to hack your account.I think for those who work in cryptocurrency, you must use 2FA to save the account. This will keep your account 100% secure.
Hacking does not have to come from online, it might be through friends and someone close also through use of unsecure WIFI etc. As much as it is kept online one should be careful onground. If you lose your phone having the same number and email access open, such individual might be exposed already, many more cases Really sad you didn't use two factor authentication {2FA} so secure your funds. Please going forward don't joke with the usefulness of the power of 2fa. Many people have fallen victim to hacks and the only way to prevent hackers from having access to your funds is by securing it with OTP or 2FA.
2FA is a good security but if you fail to protect it then your account can still be compromise.On most of my important account, I always have my 2FA and of course there's also a back up to that so make sure you do note of that and keep it on a safer place. We are living in a market that is very vulnerable to hackers and scammers, we should use every security that we can use here in the market and in your online accounts.
As much as possible it is best to exhaust/use available security measures to protect your assets especially in exchanges. Though PIN and 2FA may not always be a perfect security system but it is better than not using it. Your assets are what you have worked for and deserve to be protected. If applicable, also use a mix of complex alphanumeric, etc. to create passwords. It is like making things hard for yourself, but it is preferable than to have the experience a stolen fund.
Having 2FA in your account or your wallet doesn't mean that it is completely safe. 2FA can be hacked by hackers if you ask me but having 2FA will increase its safety compared to not having 2FA in your account or wallet for non-hacker person. For example, I got your account in an exchange site where you have funds in there when you are trading but if I log on your account, I can't actually access it since the site ask me to provide a OTP for 2FA. That's why 2FA works for those who doesn't know how to hack.

today I experienced an unexpected transaction from one of my wallets, all my assets were sold automatically, this is the first time I've experienced this, I didn't protect this wallet with a PIN and 2fa
can it be delayed after I use 2fa and PIN for all transactions?
can it be delayed after I use 2fa and PIN for all transactions?
When the transaction especially withdrawing certainly needs at least 1 confirmation, even though we do not activate 2fa but when withdrawal definitely requires confirmation in an email when registering, and if we activate 2fa, of course the account position is stronger because I rarely hear the theft case on users who activate 2fa.
