Before you start, you’ll want to download an authentication app to your mobile device if you don’t already have one. It is a bit tricky to set up the multi-factor authentication with Nord VPN, but if you follow the steps below, you’ll be more secure in no time. Odds are that your friend does not have a clone of your phone, so that should stop ’em in their tracks even if they keep guessing your password.

Of course, one of the great things about two-factor authentication (2FA) is that even if someone has your account name and password, they cannot log into your account unless they also have access to your mobile device.

How do you know? Do you use the same password everywhere? Obviously, if it’s the latter, it might well be time to start changing your passwords and using a password manager like 1Password (what I use) to track everything.

But I’m more curious about your friend accessing your accounts. NordVPN does indeed offer multi-factor authentication (MFA) for accounts, either through an Auth app on your smartphone or a physical security device.
