MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) is a security protocol that requires users to provide two or more verification methods to gain access to a resource, application, or online account. This layered security approach significantly enhances protection against unauthorized access by combining multiple independent credentials.
How MFA Works
MFA verification typically requires a combination of:
- Something you know (password, PIN)
- Something you have (security token, smartphone)
- Something you are (biometric verification)
Security Benefits
- Dramatically reduces the risk of unauthorized access
- Protects against password-related vulnerabilities
- Ensures compliance with security regulations
- Provides audit trails for access attempts
