Protect your Linktree account with MFA (Multi-factor Authentication)
Updated over a week ago

In today's increasingly digitized world, the amount of data accessed, used, and shared across the internet continues to grow. With the risks of cybercrimes growing, Linktree is focused to protect our creators and their content.

What is MFA?


Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is a common verification method that requires more than one type of user validation. It prevents bad characters from accessing an account even if they've found a way to acquire your username and password.

The benefits of using MFA on your account are that it reduces the likelihood of the many types of cyber-attacks that are out there and can stop these bad characters from accessing your Linktree account.
