Multifactor authentication (MFA) is a powerful way to protect users and employees against cyber threats by verifying identity with 2 or more credentials prior to device, database, or application access. Unlike two-factor authentication (2FA), which requires only 2 types of authentication, MFA uses 2 or more factors such as security questions, locations, tokens and certificates, biometrics, and one-time passwords to provide an additional layer of security. MFA can be used in various contexts, including email, banking, social media, cloud technology, and more, to protect against password attacks, phishing, and physical impersonation. By implementing MFA, users can nullify these threats and ensure their account security is strengthened, making it a crucial step in protecting oneself, organizations, and users against harmful cyberattacks.
