Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is a very simple security practice that can add an extra layer of protection beyond the username and password. After enabling MFA, when a user logs in, in addition to providing a username and password (the first authentication), a second authentication is required. Multi-factor authentication combined will provide higher security protection for your account and resources. You can learn about What is Multi-factor Authentication here.
