Someone just now tried to access my Coinbase account. Luckily 2FA was enabled so they couldn’t get in and my account was locked. WHEW! SET UP 2FA NOW!

I just got an email that someone was trying to log into my account. "OH FUCK OH FUCK!!" so I try to log in and my password was not the same, or it wasn't working for whatever reason. So I had to reset my password using my email and 2FA with the Authy app.

I was able to change my password as well see that all my funds were still there. Whew! So glad I turned 2FA on! It's kind of annoying to have to open my phone and type in a code every time I log in but damn, I don't know if I could forgive myself if I didn't have it on and someone stole my money.

Turn 2FA on now, and don't use SMS. Use an Authenticator App. Stay safe guys.
