What is 2fa?

Posted on : 04 Feb, 2025    |    Last Update - 2 weeks ago   

2FA is an extra layer of security for digital accounts that ensures anyone accessing an account provides more than one credential to prove their identity. For example, after providing an account's email address and password, the user must still provide another credential like OTP (One-Time Pin), fingerprint or token.
