MFA

Abbreviation for multi-factor authentication

In short and in plain language

MFA means you need more than a password to log in.

You also need another proof. This is often a code on your phone.

This can help to keep strangers out of the admin area of a shop.

It is most useful for accounts that are allowed to do a lot.

Definition
With multi-factor authentication, a login requires a further proof in addition to the password, such as a code from a smartphone. It can help secure access to the shop administration against unauthorised use. It is particularly useful for accounts with far-reaching rights.
