Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) - Overview

What is 2FA?

Two-factor authentication (2FA), also referred to as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security measure that requires users to provide two forms of verification to access their accounts. In addition to their usual password, users must also provide a second factor, such as a code sent to their mobile device.

This additional layer of security helps protect accounts from unauthorized access, even if the password is compromised. By combining something you know (a password) with something you have (a device), 2FA significantly enhances account security.
