Cyber Security -Series-Part #3 - Use Multi- Factor Authentication
Multi- Factor Authentication (MFA), also known as two-factor authentication (2FA), is a way to protect your online accounts. Instead of only asking for a username and password, MFA requires one or more additional verification factors, like a time limited code or fingerprint.
