If you’re new to the world of cybersecurity, terms such as 2FA and MFA may be confusing. Sometimes 2FA and MFA are used interchangeably. Although similar, these acronyms refer to different layers of authentication. Two-Factor Authentication requires exactly two verification steps while multi-factor authentication requires two or more verification steps.
Nobody is perfect and mistakes are normal. However, hackers are acutely aware of this and they will try to attack you when you are at your most vulnerable. Two-factor authentications reduces the probability of human error, but it does not completely eliminate it. Implementing another verification step significantly increases security .
