Access Management - Technology
MFA
(Multi-Factor Authentication)
Proving your identity in more than one way before you are allowed access
What's it for?
Makes an account much harder to break into by requiring more than one kind of proof of identity.
For example…
Staff enter a password and then approve a phone prompt.
MFA requires an employee to enter their password and approve a notification on their phone before accessing payroll
Think of it like…
A cash machine requiring both your card and your PIN before giving you access to your money
