What is a two-factor authentication?
Digital crime is increasing. A simple username and password are not enough to secure accounts. This is where Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) comes in. 2FA provides an additional layer of security that goes beyond the username and password. A physical token is used as a secondary authentication device. Most organizations make use of the phone. As soon as a request is made to access a secure account, a voice message or text is sent to the user’s phone containing a one-time pin code. Along with the username, password, the pin code serves as a dynamic secondary authentication for accessing a secure account. This makes it a lot harder for anyone else to access your secure account.
