Secure Our World with MFA — Turn-on Multifactor Authentication (MFA) to Protect Online Accounts
Multifactor authentication (MFA) enhances security by verifying our identity when we log into our accounts. This often involves entering a code sent via text message or generated by an authenticator app. By adding this extra layer of protection, MFA helps secure our online presence. Even if someone gains access to our passwords, they won’t be able to bypass the second verification step, preventing unauthorized access.
