What is Multi-Factor Authentication?

Created by Daryl Shiromoto, Modified on Thu, 25 May, 2023 at 12:13 PM by Daryl Shiromoto

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a multi-step account login process that requires users to enter more information than just a password. For example, along with the password, users might be asked to enter a code sent to their email, answer a secret question, or scan a fingerprint. A second form of authentication can help prevent unauthorized account access if a system password has been compromised.
