Multi factor authentication (MFA) is a security system that requires users to provide two or more pieces of evidence (or factors) to verify their identity when logging in to an account or service. Factors can include something the user knows (such as a password or PIN), something the user has (such as a physical token or mobile phone), or something the user is (such as a biometric feature like a fingerprint or iris scan).
