This process \u2063typically \u2063involves\u200c the user providing\u2062 a username and \u2062password, as well\u2063 as a unique PIN code \u200cor one-time-only password. \u200c<\/p>\n<p>Shared \u2062two-factor authentication \u200bis used to ensure that no\u200b unauthorized user can \u2062falsely access \u200ba user\u2019s account\u200d or private information. \u2064It \u2063provides an extra layer of \u2064security beyond that of a\u2062 traditional password-only \u200cauthentication\u200b protocol. With this technology,\u2062 a hacker\u200b would\u200c need to have \u200dboth the username \u200dand password\u200b as well as the correct one-time-password \u200cor PIN code. This\u200c would make a potential hacker\u2019s \u200cjob significantly more \u2063difficult \u200dand\u200c reduce the likelihood\u200c of successful attacks.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Username and \u2064Password \u2013<\/strong> \u200d The first factor of authentication\u200d that is typically used by users \u2064is the \u2063username\u200d and \u200dpassword. This\u2063 is the traditional \u2062security protocol \u2064used to identify \u2062who \u200cthe\u2064 user\u200b is.<\/li>\n<li><strong>One-Time Password or Pin Code \u2013 <\/strong>The second factor for\u2064 verifying \u200ca user\u2019s\u200d identity \u2062is a\u200d one-time password or PIN code. These \u2063are \u200crandomly generated \u200bcodes that can only \u200bbe used once, \u200cthen they expire. This ensures \u2064only the\u200c legitimate user has access to the\u2064 account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"2-benefits-of-shared-two-factor-authentication\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Benefits_of%E2%80%8D_Shared_Two-Factor%E2%81%A2_Authentication\"><\/span>2.
