2FA
(Two-Factor Authentication)
A login check that requires two different ways to prove it’s you
What's it for?
Makes an account harder to break into by asking for two different proofs of identity.
For example…
Logging into the VPN requires a password and a one-time code from an authenticator app
With 2FA, a banking app asks for your password and then a fingerprint on your phone before allowing a payment
Think of it like…
Front door with a key and a keypad code — both needed before you get in
