Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
MFA adds an extra layer of security when you log into your account to prevent unauthorized access. You log in with something you know (your password) and something you have (your phone). MFA is the most effective way to secure our computer accounts and it is easy to use. If you’ve ever received a text message to confirm your identity when logging into an online retailer or banking site, you’ve used MFA. It allows you to confirm your identity by text message, mobile application, and other methods.
