Also known as: Multi-Factor Authentication, Two-Factor Authentication, 2FA
Following adds this technology to your private workspace so related learning is easier to organise and revisit.
What is MFA?
Multi-factor authentication requires evidence from more than one authentication-factor category before granting access. This profile connects the concept to KBY's practical engineering guidance.
Factors may represent knowledge, possession or inherence; two passwords do not constitute two factors. Method strength varies significantly, with origin-bound cryptographic authenticators providing better phishing resistance than codes delivered or entered manually.
Reduce account compromise by requiring independent proof beyond a password.
- Securing user logins
