What Is Multi-Factor Authentication?
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a mechanism that strengthens user verification by adding authentication via an authentication app in addition to an Email address and Password.
While normal logins rely solely on an “email address and password (knowledge-based factors)” for authentication, enabling Multi-Factor Authentication requires you to also enter a “one-time password displayed on your mobile device (possession-based factor).”
By combining multiple authentication factors, it is possible to reduce the risk of unauthorized Logins compared to single-factor authentication.
