What is MultiFactorAuthentication?
Multi Factor Authentication is a standard for securing your online accounts. You may be familiar with it for your Apple ID or other online services.
The point of multifactor authentication (MFA) is to confirm that it is YOU who is trying to access your account and not some hacker!
