Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security protocol that requires more than one unique credential to verify a user’s identity for a login, or other transactions. MFA protocols usually call for a combination of at least three credentials: a user-created password; information associated with a user’s device, including mobile phones, security tokens, etc.; and increasingly, unique biometric identifiers, such as a person’s fingerprints, voice profile, IRIS scans, and more.
