What if I Forget My Passwords If I Use Two-Factor Authentication?

✏️ Adding two-factor authentication doesn't increase the risks if forget your passwords. They both share important recovery steps if there's a problem.

Passwords & Two-factor
Passwords and two-factor authentication are separate from one another and don’t add additional risk to one another. More important is that you set your account recovery information and keep it up-to-date so that if there’s a problem with either — two-factor, or your password — you’ll be able to regain access to the account and address the problem.
