    MFA

    Multi-Factor Authentication requires multiple forms of verification to access an account.

    Why it matters

    • Significantly reduces account compromise risk
    • Required for many compliance standards
    • Protects against password breaches

    When to use

    • For any system with sensitive data
    • When compliance requires strong authentication
    • For administrative and privileged accounts

    Common mistakes

    • Making MFA optional when it should be required
    • Not providing backup authentication methods
    • Using SMS as the only second factor
