What is Two Factor Authentication (2FA)?


Two factor authentication (2FA), often referred to as two step verification, is a security process in which the user provides two authentication factors to verify they are who they say they are.


Typically you require your usual login and password plus one other element. This could be an SMS or Authentication using the Google Authenticator.


Two-factor authentication provides an additional layer of security and makes it harder for attackers to gain access to a person's devices and online accounts, because knowing the person's password alone is not enough to pass the authentication check.
