We all want that extra security when it comes to our social media. Instagram finally rolled that out for everyone.

Instagram confirmed Thursday that two-factor authentication is now available to all users worldwide. 

The social media network announced the plan for two-factor authentication back in February 2016. Once the feature is enabled, any time you log in from a new device a code is sent to your phone before you can complete the log in. 

The security update also lets you save backup codes in case you lose access to your phone.
