Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security method that requires two forms of identification to access resources and data. It’s a type of multi-factor authentication (MFA) that adds an extra layer of security to an account in case a password is stolen.
2FA can help protect against phishing, social engineering, and password brute-force attacks. It can also help businesses monitor and safeguard their networks and most vulnerable information.
