Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a critical security mechanism that introduces a second layer of defense to the authentication process, requiring users to provide two distinct forms of identification. This approach not only capitalizes on the conventional password but also incorporates a physical element, usually a mobile device with an authenticator app, which the user must possess. The inclusion of 2FA in security protocols is invaluable for protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access, making it imperative for users to have a mobile device ready to complete this two-step verification.
