Tesla is finally adding a much-needed security feature to its mobile app in a bid to try and protect its vehicles.

The carmaker is introducing two-factor authentication (2FA) into its mobile app, meaning users will need to combine login information with a code or identifier linked to their personal device in order to gain access, hopefully boosting security protection for owners.

The move was "embarrassingly late", admitted Tesla CEO Elon Musk. “Sorry, this is embarrassingly late. Two factor authentication via sms or authenticator app is going through final validation right now,” Musk wrote in a Twitter response to a question from one of his followers.
