L'A2F is a security mode for your epic games account, if you want to connect to your account from a new place or computer you will then receive a email fromepic games asking you to accept this new location using a CODEDThis code is sent directly to your contact email address, and if you do not use this code to log in, you cannot play or install any games on the Epic game platform.

Is it useful?

So YES! You should know that for a while, I myself had access to more than 75,000 fortnite accounts Steal! It's pretty simple since now there are "robots" that can log into accounts. If they manage to log in, they notify the person who set them up. That person either resells the accounts (if there are skins) or gives them away (I got my accounts this way, and since I like to test everything, I set it up myself). So I can tell you one thing: A2F (two-factor authentication) IS ULTRA IMPORTANT, if you don't want your account to be stolen!!! (unless you have an unsecured mailbox (I recommend Gmail for security)
You should know that the easiest way for hackers is to have your password and email (on another platform) so CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE.
If you want me to go into more detail about how it works, I'll explain (just leave a comment or ask me on Discord). The more we know about how a hack is possible, the easier it is to protect ourselves from it! So, on any type of platform, set up two-factor authentication. If it's available, it's often useful! (linked bank card, possible sale of the account, etc.)

After that, if you want to log in, you will need to enter a code received either by an "authenticator" or by email, as described above.
