Multi Factor Authentication

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is an account login process that requires users to provide additional information beyond just a password, such as using a fingerprint or entering a code sent to their phone number.

Benefits of Multi-Factor Authentication

  1. Enhances security protection;
  2. Prevents hacking attempts on applications and access to resources that rely on login credentials such as user ID, email, and password;
  3. Protects user data from credential theft.
