• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra
  layer of security for staff and clients,
  addressing both of these flaws. It eliminates the
  detrimental effects of compromised credentials.
• In this blog, we will discuss what exactly MFA is
  and how companies can benefit from using this
  security tool.

What Is MFA?

• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security
  system that allows a person to authenticate their
  identity using two or more passwords. Passwords,
  hardware tokens, numerical codes, biometrics,
  time, and place are all examples of passwords
  used in this process.
• MFA can be implemented using any combination of
  the examples above, but most implementations use
  two factors, which is why MFA is often known as
  two-factor authentication (2FA). The
  authentication mechanism would remain stable even
  though one of the authentication factors is
  broken by using several passwords instead of only
  one.

Why is MFA Important?

• Increased Security 
• Enterprise Mobility

The Future Of Multi-factor Authentication

• Multi-factor authentication is increasingly
  developing to provide organisations with
  connectivity that is both more reliable and less
  cumbersome for consumers. Biometrics is an
  excellent example of this concept. It is more
  reliable because it is impossible to steal a
  fingerprint or a face, and it is more comfortable
  because the user does not have to recall
  something (like a password) or make any other
  substantial effort. The following are some of the
  recent developments in multi-factor
  authentication.

• Theres no doubt that multi-factor authentication
  will continue to evolve and advance in the quest
  for ways for people to show they are who they
  think they are in a reliable and non-disruptive
  manner. So, if youre looking to leverage the
  benefits of the latest MFA advancements, consider
  partnering with experts like AccOps. For more
