Week 1 Focus: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
What is MFA?
MFA is a security measure that requires two or more proofs of identity, beyond just a password, to grant you access into accounts.
Types of MFA Security Checks include:
- one-time passcode
- security key
- facial recognition
- fingerprint
Why should you Enable MFA?
It will ensure access to your applications (and the precious data contained within them) is more secure and not prone to accidental or deliberate attempts to breach them.
