What is it?
MFA is an additional verification process during the login process to prove who you are.
A factor in authentication is a way of confirming your identity when you try to sign in. For example, a password is one kind of factor, it's a thing you know. The three most common kinds of factors are:
- Something you know - Like a password, or a memorized PIN.
- Something you have - Like a smartphone, or a secure USB key.
