What is multi-factor authentication (MFA)?
- Multi-factor authentication is a two-step verification method that adds an extra layer of protection in which a user is granted access to a website or application only after successfully presenting two or more pieces of evidence to an authentication mechanism: knowledge, possession, and inherence.
Why multi-factor authentication (MFA)?
- MFA protects user data—which may include personal identification or financial assets from being accessed by an unauthorized third party that may have been able to discover, for example, a single password.
