Multi-factor authentication is when a user must provide two or more pieces of evidence to verify their identity to gain access to an app or digital resource.
So if a hacker gains access to your login ID and password, they still can't login without the second authentication method.
Please note: Please make sure you understand how MFA works before turning it on. If you don't follow the instructions correctly, you run the risk of losing access to your account if you lose access to your authentication device or recovery codes
We recommend Authy, 1Password, or LastPass for your authenticator app. We do not recommend Google authenticator.
During the setup process, you will be asked to save recovery codes. If you lose access to your authentication device, these codes are the only way to log back into your account so please save them.
