What is multi-factor authentication (MFA) and how does it work?

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is the use of multiple factors to confirm the identity of someone who is requesting access to an application, website or other resource. Multi-factor authentication is the difference between, for example, entering a password to gain access and entering a password plus a one-time password (OTP), or a password plus the answer to a security question.

By requiring people to confirm identity in more than one way, multi-factor authentication provides greater assurance that they really are who they claim to be—which reduces the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data. After all, it’s one thing to enter a stolen password to gain access; it’s quite another to enter a stolen password and then also be required to enter an OTP that was texted to the legitimate user’s smartphone.

Any combination of two or more factors qualifies as multi-factor authentication. The use of only two factors may also be referred to as two-factor authentication.

So look at a simple scenario: logging in to your bank account. If you’ve turned on MFA or your bank turned it on for you, things will go a little differently. First and most typically, you’ll type in your username and password. Then, as a second factor, you’ll use an authenticator app, which will generate a one-time code that you enter on the next screen. Then you’re logged in – that’s it!
