The well-known website Kickass Torrents (KAT) has added an extra layer of security for its users by enabling them to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) from within their account.
The new addition is known as two-factor authentication or 2FA for short and adds a second level of control except from the password.
If activated in an account, the user, in addition to having to enter the correct username and password, must enter a second code that is sent to him via email or as an SMS on his phone.
2FA is a common feature in major Web services such as Facebook and Google, and it may seem extravagant for a torrent site.
