Abstract: Multifactor authentication (MFA) is one of the most secure authentication methods. It covers a wide range of topics in a cyber-connected environment, such as online payments, communications, and access right management, among others. Multifactor authentication is usually a little complicated because it necessitates an extra step on the part of the user. With two-factor authentication, in addition to the user ID and password, the user must additionally input a special code that they usually receive through SMS or a special code that they have received in advance. This paper will explore the concept of MFA, key differences between MFA and two facto authentication (2FA), MFA benefits, and the necessity of utilizing it.
