Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Enabled Authorization
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security method that verifies a user’s identity by asking multiple credentials. It is a significant component of identity and access management (IAM). Unlike just asking for a username and password, MFA requires other additional credentials, such as a code from the user’s mobile phone, the answer to a security question, a fingerprint, or facial recognition.
MFA is an effective way to provide enhanced security. MFA creates multiple layers of security to increase the confidence that the user requesting access is who they claim to be.
