2 factor authentication

Swisscom has now introduced a compulsory 2 factor authentication.

I understand that 2 factor authentications usually concern data collection rather than security issues.

Does anyone know why Swisscom has introduced a compulsory 2 factor authentication, hence why it is collecting data and how it deals with them?

Cheers

Thazeiyien19 This has nothing to do with data collection, IF Swisscom wants to collect the data, they don't need the 2-Factor authentification. It is indeed for the clients security. How data are collected exactly is not communicated to us clients.

Btw, you can also select the 2-FA only for sensible data, not for TV, E-Mail, even MySwisscom itself. Here:

Manage Login - My Swisscom
