What is Two Factor Authentication?Two Factor Authentication (2FA), also referred to as Two Step Verification, is a security method that uses two different factors or components in the login procedure to check whether the user is authentic or not. This method adds an extra layer of security to secure all your online accounts and data from different types of cyberattacks occurring over the internet.

2FA requires your secret password and a unique verification code or OTP (One Time Passcode) to verify your identity and gain access to the account.The verification code is sent to your mobile number after entering the valid username and password combination. This code is valid only for a few seconds i.e. around 45 seconds.Two Factor Authentication is more than using just password-only verification.

Authentication Factors1. The knowledge factor (something you know) – username,

password, PIN, a secret question & answer.2. The possession factor (something you have) – credit & debit

card, mobile device, key fob.3. The inherence factor (something you are) – biometric

characteristics such as iris, retina, face scan, voice recognition, fingerprint.

Why 2FA is needed?The malicious attacks on the online accounts are increasing rapidly, therefore the end users need an extra security layer to protect their digital assets from the hackers. 2FA is a proven security method that protects your accounts from all sorts of malicious attacks.In the normal login method, you just need your secret password to log in to the account. If someone hacks or steals your secret password, then he can easily access your account.

But, with 2FA, your online accounts are secure even if the passwords get compromised. It is because the hackers need a second factor; a unique verification code, along with your secret password, to gain access to the account.Due to this reason, 2FA is needed for every online account.
