Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a specific type of multi-factor authentication (MFA) that strengthens access security by requiring two methods to verify your identity.
Two-factor authentication is used on top of the user’s password when logging into an account as a second form of authentication. The second layer of authentication can be a code provided through text message, authenticator applications, or it can be made up of a fingerprint or face recognition.
