    Definitely! Robinhood allows you to use a hardware key or authentication app for 2FA, which adds an extra layer of security to your account. To set it up, navigate to the security settings in your Robinhood account and select the option to enable 2FA. If you prefer a hardware key, you can purchase one like the YubiKey and follow the instructions provided. Alternatively, you can use an authentication app like Google Authenticator or Authy, which are widely supported and easy to set up. Once enabled, you'll need to provide the code generated by the hardware key or app whenever you log in to your Robinhood account. This ensures that even if someone obtains your password, they won't be able to access your account without the additional 2FA code.
