Topic: is using 2fa safe in every way - page 8. (Read 714 times)
If you use your 2fa for any types of phissy website then it will obviously not working for your money safety because web developer also see your 2fa code here and he also can add 2fa on any types of 2fa app but insted of that if you use it for any types of real website then its fine for you.
We will only realize it’s important the time we needed it and mostly this realizations happens late. When I lose my phone I also don’t have 2fa or even locked in my phone that makes it easier to anyone who got my phone to access it. As much as possible now I put all security my phone can have lock, fingerprint,passwords and face detection. And when it comes in finance related accounts there is 2fa and stricter password.
2FA always enable it whenever there is money involved. The most android application now are covered by Google Protect but it doesn't mean you are safe so better if you have one more wall for security.
Now if you are running a desktop software you could just do the same case. If not password which should not be written/saved on the same computer where the software is, better save it old school by writing it in a paper or 2FA too which is a feature now for most wallets.
I am sorry, but your funds might be long gone.
You could try tracing it.
1. If it was sent to an exchange and you can identify what exchange it is then you can warn them about the funds being hacked by showing proof. There's a chance they will freeze it. But that's a lot of work. Is it worth the hacked amount to make that kind of effort?
2. If it's sent to a wallet address with an "idiot" hacker that was signed by him then you trace him. But that's unlikely to happen.

can it be delayed after I use 2fa and PIN for all transactions?
Sometimes they say it is better late than being absent and there are many saying like that too, so you have to know it that if you had activated such security then you won't have such encounter. I don't know if this is hacking of your wallet that has caused a transaction that you didn't activate. And I believe you should get email before such is done your approval is required if you didn't activate 2FA .
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

by activationg 2fa or pin for each transaction we have multple layer security for accessing account , trading or about finance operation. no one could sell our asset if we activate 2fa , it is as confirmation for all account operation. google auth or sms be best 2fa in my opinion because only us that hold this device. can it be delayed after I use 2fa and PIN for all transactions?
I think 2fa is safe for wallet.if you use a 2fa don't be transection any one your wallet.Many hackers find out opportunities to unsecure a wallet.without 2 fa wallet is unsecur because in many hackers try also break the 2fa security system.They are can't to easy to break the 2fa security system.If you add a 2fa hackers don't do this.Nothing is impossible for hackers,but it is better to be secure.I am using already 5 years 2fa and pin.I think this 2fa protect my wallet and i believes this.

Sure it will be if you only have used it. It wouldn't have taken so easily if there's some kind of security to protect your asset in the first place, a 2fa with the app, SMS, or email should delayed the exploiter. There's a huge chance that it wouldn't be sold if there's some security like 2FA on your app or wallet to be specific. can it be delayed after I use 2fa and PIN for all transactions?

What do you mean automatically sold? Do you mean this is an exchange wallet?
If they were already sold then, the transaction is already done. Either someone already got control of that account and if you have not set the email, Authentication and 2fa, maybe they can withdraw the funds too. I could only think someone has access to you email and learned about your account and its worse if they have also done SIM swap.

Nothing is 100% safe but 2FA is considered "safe". Also there are different 2FA's. SMS, Google, hardware, mobile app... All of those have different weaknesses. SMS 2FA is considered the weakest of all but I don't know the exact reason. It is probably because hacking simcards is somehow easier.
You should use 2FA on every important or not account you have. Banks, emails, forums (if there is an option), social media. If a hacker can get into one of those accounts, he can start collecting your data and he will strike you when he finds a weakness.

If the transaction is already running and only waiting for confirmation from the network, then it will never be delayed and also will not mean anything even though you have implemented 2fa and the PIN in the wallet, but if the transaction has not been executed by the network, then it is also possible to fail. Hopefully there are no other transactions that happen suddenly to your wallet. can it be delayed after I use 2fa and PIN for all transactions?
That's why people should enable 2FA authentication for the security of a wallet or should be used in everything important . However, in many cases hackers can also break the 2FA security system. In many cases there are many exchangers who have weak 2FA security system , in that case the users get a lot of problems with it .

For transactions that have already occurred, it is not possible to delay or cancel transactions after applying 2 FA and PIN authentication.
However, if you apply 2 FA and PIN previously, events such as automatic asset sales or hacking activities on your wallet will not occur. At least your funds will be safe from hacking activities or cases like you experienced. PIN and 2 FA authentication are additional security which I think is good and effective for protecting crypto assets in the wallet, I suggest using these 2 additional security in other wallets you have.
Please correct me if my statement is wrong
The question is what app that you have been used to store your money? If your 2 FA didn't work and i do believe if there would be something wrong with you or your app and if you didn't mention what kind of wallet or app that already used. You can try to enable 2FA verification and any withdrawal that will be happening in your wallet will require 2fa to be able to take it from your wallet. This is adding second security layer to your wallet but it's better if you can encrypt it as well. This is increasing the security of your wallet. Im always using 2 fa for every wallet or assets to make it even safer.
