Multifactor Authentication

Enabling MFA in Charitylog

Multifactor authentication (MFA) is a security process that requires users to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a system, account, or application. Instead of just entering a password (single-factor authentication), MFA adds extra layers of security by requiring additional factors, which typically fall into three categories:

Something you know: This is usually a password or PIN. Something you have: This could be a smartphone, security token, or smart card. Something you are: This involves biometrics, such as a fingerprint, facial recognition, or voice recognition. By combining multiple factors, MFA makes it much harder for unauthorised users to gain access, even if they have one of the factors, like your password.
