Multi-factor authentication (MFA; 2FA…etc) is a digital authenticator process where a user presents 2 or more verification methods to grant access to a website/application with another level of security. 2FA protects your devices, accounts, and data (which may include personal information, physical location, database or financial assets) from being accessed by an unauthorized user or third party. A single password is not always enough as they can be revealed through other unlawful methods.
Nowadays, most companies offer multi‑factor authentication features on their products. So have we, in fact we're asking that some of our clients start moving in this direction to protect their assets (and ours).
