Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a security process that requires users to provide two different types of identification to access an account or system. Typically, this involves something the user knows (like a password) and something the user has access to (such as a mobile device to receive a verification code) or something the user brings with them (like a fingerprint or USB key).

2FA enhances security with an additional layer beyond a single password, reducing the risk of unauthorized access in the case a password becomes compromised. 2FA is widely used in online banking, email accounts, and similar sensitive systems to protect against fraud or data breaches.

2FA also helps businesses safeguard confidential information, comply with security regulations, and build trust with customers by demonstrating their commitment to strong security practices.
