What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) requires users to provide two or more verification factors to access an account. Factors include something the user knows (password), something they have (token or phone), and something they are (biometrics).
Benefits of MFA:
- Prevents unauthorized access even if passwords are compromised.
- Reduces the risk of account takeover and identity theft.
- Supports compliance with security standards and regulations.
MFA is one of the most effective security measures for protecting online accounts and sensitive data.
