MFA as a security measure

Multifactor authentication (MFA) is a security measure that requires users to provide more than one method of verification when logging into a system. This can include something the user knows (like a password or PIN), something the user has (like a security token or key fob), or something the user is (like a fingerprint or iris scan). MFA is an important tool for protecting systems and data, as it makes it much more difficult for unauthorized users to gain access.
