What is multi-factor authentication?
Multi-factor Authentication or 2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring two forms of verification to access your account:
-
Something you know (like your password)
-
Something you have (like a code sent to your email or mobile device)
Why is it necessary?
-
Protection Against Password Breaches: Even if your password is compromised, unauthorized access is prevented without the second factor.
-
Defense Against Phishing Attacks: Cybercriminals cannot access your account without the second form of verification.
-
Enhanced Data Security: This additional step ensures better protection for company and customer information.
How it works
When logging in, you'll enter your password as usual. You'll then receive a unique code via your authentication app or email. Simply enter that code to complete your login.
