TSP announced via Twitter on Friday that the TSP site has officially implemented two-factor authentication (2FA) for TSP participants. The announcement follows indications since last fall that administrators were preparing to enable this important feature.

Here’s the announcement on 19 April:

Be sure to enable this important feature!

(Update: the feature includes options to receive a second factor by either text or email, an important feature especially for those serving abroad who do not have ready access to a phone…)
