MFA

MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication). You know how sometimes you need two keys to open a really important lock, like a treasure chest full of gold in an epic adventure movie? That’s basically what MFA is – it adds an extra layer of security by requiring two different ways to prove you’re really you before you can access your digital treasures. So, just like two keys are better than one to protect your treasure, MFA uses two verification methods to keep your digital assets (data, email, etc) safe from cyber criminals.
