Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) enhances authentication security by requiring two distinct forms of identification before access is granted. A form of multi-factor authentication (MFA), 2FA typically requires a password and then generates a one-time numeric code that the user can access via text message, email, or an authenticator app.

Implementing 2FA can greatly reduce the risk of unauthorized access resulting from compromised passwords. It should be considered a mandatory practice in securing sensitive data and systems.
