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.
