Multi-Factor Authentication | CISA
www.cisa.gov › mfaMulti-factor authentication (MFA) is a layered approach to securing your online accounts and the data they contain. When you enable MFA in your online services (like email), you must provide a combination of two or more authenticators to verify your identity before the service grants you access.
