Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security method that requires two verification steps for user access and is commonly implemented with one-time passwords (OTPs) delivered via various channels. Phishing attacks can target various personal details, and scammers may exploit this by harvesting additional data, like email addresses and passwords, during the initial login attempt.
