Multi-factor authentication (MFA) involves using a second method to verify an individual’s identity beyond a password [00:00:05].
One such method is biometric authentication, which utilizes unique physical characteristics to confirm identity [00:00:15]. A common example of a biometric method used for MFA is Face ID [00:00:17].
Other methods of MFA include:
- Hardware keys [00:00:20]
- Authenticator apps [00:00:25]
- Text message codes, though these are considered a very dangerous method due to increased vectors for compromise [00:00:39].
