Multi Factor Authentication User Guide + FAQ

MFA Explained

Multi Factor Authentication, or MFA, is a security measure that requires users to provide two or more types of authentication factors to verify their identity. These factors can include something the user knows (like a password or PIN), something the user has (like a mobile device or smart card), and/or something the user is (like a fingerprint or facial recognition).

The Benefits of MFA

MFA is important because it adds an extra layer of security to the authentication process, making it more difficult for unauthorised individuals to access sensitive information or conduct fraudulent transactions. In other words, MFA helps to protect your clients’ accounts and personal data from cyber criminals.
