A Google study has demonstrated the effectiveness of multifactor authentication as a tool to prevent account piracy.
A recent Google study reveals that simply associating your Google account with a phone number to retrieve access by sending code via SMS can block 100% of bots, 99% of mass phishing attacks and 76% targeted attacks. For the two factor authentication/ this is a very important aspect.

We always recommend users to use two-factor authentication (2FA) in each of the services and accounts, which is possible. This is a feature that adds an extra layer of security and makes it more difficult for third parties to access our accounts if our access credentials are stolen or leaked due to a security breach affecting a service we use. The recent report released by Google confirms that its use is very effective in preventing misuse of accounts.
