MFA

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security process that requires users to provide two or more verification methods to gain access to an account, system, or application. This extra layer of security reduces the risk of unauthorized access, as even if one authentication factor (like a password) is compromised, the attacker would still need the additional factors.
