Two \u2064common types of\u200b MFA \u2062are typically used:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Something you \u200bknow:<\/b> such as a\u2064 username\/password combination<\/li>\n<li><b>Something you have:<\/b> such as a security token or code<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>MFA is commonly seen as an\u2064 extra\u200c layer of\u200c protection compared \u2062to a\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/logmeonce.com\/how-logmeonce-works\/\">traditional\u2064 username\/password \u200dsystem<\/a>. It is more secure since the \u200bfactors work independently, making it more \u2064difficult for someone to \u2064gain access. MFA also provides users \u2063with a better experience since it grants them access faster and \u200bmakes them feel more secure.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2-making-your-accounts-safer-with-mfa-settings\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Making%E2%80%8C_Your_Accounts_Safer%E2%80%8B_with%E2%80%8B_MFA_%E2%80%8CSettings\"><\/span>2.

By\u2064 setting \u2062up two-step authentication on your account, you need to verify your \u2062identity with a code sent to your\u2063 phone or email. This makes \u2063it virtually impossible for anyone \u200celse\u2063 to\u200c access your\u2064 account \u2064without authorization. <\/p>\n<p><strong>MFA Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Multi-factor \u2062authentication (MFA) takes\u200b two-step authentication one \u200bstep further, requiring \u2064users to provide two or \u200cmore verification methods.
