Multifactor Authentication (MFA) requires users to provide two or more verification factors to gain access, significantly enhancing network security by adding layers of protection beyond just a username and password. MFA combines something the user knows (password), something the user has (security token, smartphone), and something the user is (biometric verification) to authenticate and protect against unauthorized access, making it an ideal choice for institutions handling sensitive data.
