    • Abstract

      Multi-factor authentication, MFA, two-factor authentication, or 2FA, along with similar terms, is an electronic authentication method in which a user is granted access to a device, website or application only after successfully presenting two or more pieces of evidence (or factors) to an authentication mechanism: MFA protects user data—which may include personal identification or financial assets from being accessed by an unauthorized third party that may have been able to discover, for example, a single password. We will explain the most common uses of MFA today, and how MFA is being implemented in our environment.
