- Friendtech introduces 2FA password protection, elevating platform security.
- This new feature prevents unauthorized access even if cell carriers or email services are compromised.
- The move is a direct response to user reports of SIM swapping attacks and asset theft on the platform.
Friendtech, in a move signaling its commitment to user security, has unveiled its latest protective measure: two-factor authentication (2FA) password integration. This advanced security layer is aimed at ensuring that even if users’ cell phone carriers or email services are compromised, their Friendtech accounts remain impenetrable.
This decision comes on the heels of increasing reports from users who faced unauthorized access due to SIM swapping attacks. Such attacks, which involve hackers gaining control of users’ phone numbers to bypass security checks, have raised alarm bells in the digital ecosystem. The devastating consequence of these attacks for some was the illegal siphoning off of their digital assets.
You can now add a 2FA password to your https://t.co/YOHabcBL3H account for additional protection if your cell carrier or email service becomes compromised.
Neither the friendtech nor Privy teams can reset these passwords, so please use care when using this feature pic.twitter.com/g0m2E4att2

With the new 2FA implementation, Friendtech guarantees an added layer of defense. Interestingly, neither the internal team at Friendtech nor their partners at Privy can reset these 2FA passwords. This ensures that account protection remains entirely in the hands of users, offering them full control and peace of mind.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, Friendtech’s proactive approach towards user security establishes its position as a platform deeply committed to the safety and well-being of its community. It’s a timely reminder for users everywhere to activate such protective measures and remain vigilant against potential security threats.
