About Two Factor Authentication

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a security method where a user must provide two separate types of verification before accessing an account or system. Its main purpose is to strengthen account protection, making it harder for unauthorized users to gain access, even if they know the password. The two most common factors are: something the user knows (like a password, PIN, or security question) and something the user has (like a code from a mobile authenticator app).
