What is a MFA?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>MFA stands for \u200dMulti-Factor\u2062 Authentication. It is a security process that \u2062requires more than \u200done form of authentication in order to verify the user\u2019s identity. This <a href=\"https:\/\/logmeonce.com\/passwordless-mfa\/\">helps protect user accounts<\/a> from unauthorized access.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to understand\u2063 MFA is to think\u200d \u2063 of it as an extra layer of defense for user accounts. By \u2064adding more than one form of authentication, you make it\u2062 much harder \u2063for someone\u2064 to \u2064gain unauthorized access to an account. For example, you might use\u200d a \u200dcombination of a password, an email \u200clink, a\u200d code sent to a mobile device, or a\u200c biometric scan such as a fingerprint or facial recognition.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Password:<\/strong> A set\u200d of\u200b characters such as a phrase, numbers\u2062 or special marks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Email link:<\/strong> A link sent to\u200c a registered email \u2062address \u2064that the user must click on to authenticate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Code sent to a mobile device:<\/strong> A\u2062 unique code sent via SMS, Apple\/Android Push message or\u2064 app-based messages such as WhatsApp which the user must \u2064enter to authenticate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Biometric scan:<\/strong> The use\u2063 of physical \u200ccharacteristics such as fingerprints or facial recognition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>MFA\u200b helps ensure that only authorized users can\u2062 gain access to a user account. It is preferred over traditional, single-factor authentication since it is much more difficult to break into \u2064an MFA protected account. As such, MFA is an \u200bessential part of any secure authentication system.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2-the-benefits-of-earning-a-mfa-degree\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2%E2%81%A4_The_Benefits_of_Earning_a_%E2%81%A2MFA_Degree\"><\/span>2.\u2064 The Benefits of Earning a \u2062MFA Degree<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Gain Professional\u200d Knowledge<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Earning a MFA degree gives graduates the knowledge\u200c of art-making that is required in the professional art scene.
