Lock It Down: Why You Should Turn On Multifactor Authentication
– By #Midstate
What is MFA? Think of multifactor authentication (MFA) as the digital version of adding both a deadbolt and a keypad to your front door. It’s a simple extra step that can stop hackers in their tracks—even if they already have your password.MFA works by asking you to verify your identity in more than one way when logging in—like entering a code from your phone, using a fingerprint, or approving a prompt in an app. It may only take a few extra seconds, but according to cybersecurity experts, it can block up to 99% of automated hacking attempts.
