You'll already know if you're in one of these groups, as you'll have asked for access. If you don't recognise any of these terms, you probably can't use 2FA for now. Note that users with sysop rights on other projects, including test wikis hosted by Wikimedia, can also enable 2FA from those projects.
It is '''really important''' for users with advanced rights to keep their account secure. In November 2016, a number of Wikipedia administrators (including the founder, {{u|Jimbo Wales}}) had their accounts compromised, which were then used to vandalise the encyclopedia. As well as causing widespread disruption, the affected administrators' accounts were locked so they couldn't do anything until it was beyond doubt they had regained control.
