What is Strong Two-Factor Authentication?
Strong Two-Factor Authentication is a security method that requires the use of two separate pieces of information: something you have and something you know. Together, they provide a comprehensive security “lock” that cannot be broken by a cyber attack. As an example, an online “bad guy” may be able to steal something you know, your user name/password but, they cannot steal or reproduce the something you have. Without the physical card, they are unable to break the lock to access the account.
