Overview
Two-Factor Authentication is a security process requiring two forms of identification to verify a user's identity before granting access.
Purpose
Two-Factor Authentication enhances security by adding a second layer of verification beyond passwords, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Components
Typical components include something you know password, something you have smartphone or token, and something you are biometric data.
Advantages
Two-Factor Authentication increases security against phishing, credential theft, and unauthorized access attempts.
Considerations
Users may experience inconvenience, and reliance on external factors like network availability for SMS can pose risks.
Implementation
To implement Two-Factor Authentication effectively, users should enable it on their accounts and choose secure verification methods.
Future Trends
Emerging trends include Multi-Factor Authentication and passwordless authentication, offering more secure alternatives to traditional Two-Factor Authentication.
