What is MFA and How to Use MFA Apps

February 20, 2018 by Arun Leave a Comment

MFA or Multi-Factor Authentication is an additional layer of security for our online accounts – be it banking, emails, document storage websites like Dropbox, etc.



There are multiple ways to make use of MFA. Although, some websites make it mandatory to use MFA for additional security, if you see a website offering this step and is not yet mandated, I recommend to immediately opt for it and secure your account with MFA.

MFA is also known as 2FA or 2SV – Two-Factor Authentication or Two-Step Verification.

In this video, you can see more details on how to use it. But basically, we install the mobile app, click on the + icon to add a website (say, your Gmail account)  – and scan the QR that shows up on the screen.

That’s all – it’s that simple.
