It means it takes two steps to verify your identity. For example if a password it #1, then a challenge question might be #2. It could also be a one-time PIN sent via text or email.
Hi,

Oh thanks, so you mean you can choose which one of those you want to get/do?
I might not mind the text thing that seems good i get that from other important sites.

Since email hacking is so common these days, some companies have stopped using it for secondary verification. Some are switching to text messages, but phones can be hacked too.

Same here. AFAIK, this site doesn't do 2 factor authentication. If they did, it would be via email and that can be hacked.
