Multifactor Authentication (MFA)

Multifactor Authentication is a simple yet powerful way to protect your digital identity. It requires users to provide two or more verification factors to access an account, making it much harder for attackers to break in β€” even if they have your password.

πŸ” Why MFA Matters
Passwords can be guessed, stolen, or leaked in data breaches. MFA adds extra layers of protection using:

  • Something you know: like a password or PIN
  • Something you have: like a phone, token, or smart card
  • Something you are: like a fingerprint or facial scan

πŸ›‘οΈ How to Use MFA Effectively

  • Enable MFA on all critical accounts (email, banking, work systems).
  • Use authentication apps (like Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator) instead of SMS when possible.
  • Never approve unexpected login requests β€” it could be an attacker.
  • Don’t share your MFA device or codes with anyone.

πŸ“’ Remember:
Cybercriminals are always looking for easy targets. MFA makes you a much harder one. Take the extra step β€” your data is worth it.
