!!! Overview[1]
[{$pagename}] or [MFA] is an approach to [Authentication] which requires the [assertion] of [two|2FA] or more of __independent__ [Authentication Factors] and it considered a to have a higher [Level Of Assurance] (or [Vectors of Trust]) than [Authentication Methods] than using only one [Authentication Factor]
[{$pagename}] is where more than one [Authentication Factors] and each factor [SHOULD] be independent.
After [assertion] of one or more of these [Authentication Factors] must be evaluated by the other party for [Authentication] to occur. For [{$pagename}], it must be two or more.
[{$pagename}] is used without regards to the method of obtaining the [Authentication Factors]
!! Why you need [{$pagename}]
! [Google]
Our research shows that simply adding a recovery phone number to your Google Account can block up to 100% of automated bots, 99% of bulk phishing attacks, and 66% of targeted [attacks] that occurred during our investigation.
! [NIST]
[{$pagename}] helps protect you by adding an additional layer of [security], making it harder for [bad guys|Attackers] to log in as if they were you. Your information is safer because thieves would need to steal both your [password] and your phone. You would definitely notice if your phone went missing, so you’d report it before a thief could use it to log in. Plus, your phone should be locked, requiring a PIN or fingerprint to unlock, rendering it even less useful if someone wants to use your [MFA] credentials.
Using [2FA] is one of the top three things that security experts do to protect their security online, according to recent [Google] survey. And consumers feel the same way: almost 9 in 10 (86%) say that using [2FA] makes them feel like their online information is more secure, according to TeleSign.
! [Microsoft]
* 279% more enterprise security incidents from [2016|Year 2016] to [2017|year 2017]
* 81% of [Attacks] [breaches|Breach] leveraged either weak or stolen [passwords]
[Microsoft] says MFA decreases your risk of user compromise by 99%
