Q

What is two-factor authentication?

A

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security system that requires two separate, distinct forms of identification in order to access something.

The first factor is a password and the second commonly includes a text with a code sent to your smartphone, or biometrics using your fingerprint, face, or retina.
