MFA
What is Multifactor Authentication and How Can It Keep You Secure?
Multifactor authentication (MFA) is a security measure used to protect online accounts and data. It requires two or more authentication methods to verify a user’s identity. This ensures that a malicious actor cannot gain access to an account or data even if they have stolen username and password credentials. Commonly used authentication methods include biometrics, one-time passwords (OTPs), and SMS codes. MFA can be used to protect accounts on social media, banking, and shopping websites, in addition to corporate networks. By implementing MFA, businesses and individuals can ensure that their sensitive information is kept secure.
