Multifactor Authentication - Business IT Services & Support

In today’s digital age, logging into online accounts is essential, but relying solely on usernames and passwords can expose us to cyber threats. Multifactor Authentication (MFA) enhances security by requiring multiple forms of identification, such as a password and a fingerprint or smart device. This added layer of protection makes identity verification more effective, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and cyber threats.

How it Works

The first time you sign in on a device or app you enter your username and password as usual, then you get prompted to enter your second factor to verify your identity.

If you are using an Authenticator app as your second factor. You open the app on your smartphone, it shows you a unique, dynamically created 6-digit number that you type into the site and you’re in.

When somebody else tries to sign in as you, however, they’ll enter your username and password, and when they get prompted for that second factor they’re stuck! Unless they have YOUR smartphone, they have no way of getting that 6-digit number to enter.

Generally it’s only used the first time you sign into an app or device, or the first time you sign in after changing your password. After that you’ll just need your primary factor, usually a password, like you do now.

The extra security comes from the fact that somebody trying to break into your account is probably not using your device, so they’ll need to have that second factor to get in.
