Multi-Factor Authentication: Secure Your Accounts in One Click

Multi-Factor Authentication: Secure Your Accounts in One Click

• 2 min

A password alone is no longer enough.
With the rise of data breaches and phishing attacks, it has become far too easy for cybercriminals to steal your credentials.

The good news? A simple measure can reduce the risk of compromise by more than 90%: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

What is MFA?
#

MFA adds a second verification step on top of the password.
Common examples include:

  • Code sent by SMS
  • Push notification on your smartphone
  • Authentication app (Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.)
  • Physical security key (YubiKey, etc.)

Why is it essential?
#

  • A stolen or guessed password is no longer enough to access your accounts.
  • MFA blocks the majority of attacks, even if your credentials are leaked on the dark web.
  • It reassures your partners and clients: your data is better protected.
