It involves\u200d combining\u2063 two or \u2064more \u200cindependent credentials, which\u200c are\u2062 usually categorized \u2063into something the\u2062 user \u2063knows, such\u200d as a password \u200cor PIN; something the user has, such as a\u2063 credit card or\u2064 an authentication app; and something the user\u2064 is, \u200csuch \u2062as a fingerprint or face recognition.<\/p>\n<p>MFA helps protect against \u2062phishing, \u2064social\u2062 engineering \u2064and\u2063 other types\u200b of attacks, by providing \u2064an\u2064 extra \u2063layer of security.
