What MFA Is and Why It’s Essential
What is MFA?
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring two or more verification methods to access your account.
- Factors include:
- Something you know (password).
- Something you have (authentication app or SMS code).
- Something you are (fingerprint or facial recognition).
Why MFA is Essential
- Even if your password is stolen, attackers cannot access your account without the second authentication factor.
- It protects against phishing, data breaches, and unauthorized access.
