2FA and MFA?
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN...
Q Whenever I set up a new online account these days, I’m often asked to set up ‘twofactor authentication’. I understand why companies do this, even if I find it annoying. Recently, however, while reading about Microsoft 365 I learned that this now uses ‘multi-factor authentication’, and that sent my head into a spin. Does this mean Microsoft 365 requires more than two forms of identification? And if so, how many? How does Microsoft’s system differ from others? Where will it all end?
