Why is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) important?

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) serves as an extra layer of defense for your accounts. Rather than relying solely on a password, which you know, MFA adds another requirement such as a smartphone or another physical token. This additional layer of security significantly raises the bar for unauthorized access, preventing unauthorized entry into your digital assets. It functions as a dual-check system, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access your accounts, thereby fortifying the protection of your data against cyber threats and identity theft. MFA plays a pivotal role in aiding organizations to comply with industry and regulatory standards, reinforcing the security measures for safeguarding sensitive information.

How does Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) work?

When a user requests access to a resource, they encounter a multi-factor authentication (MFA) process that enhances the conventional username and password setup. To secure access, the user must successfully authenticate using their initial login details and a second-level authentication process. Sigsync MFA system uses unique, time-based one-time passcodes (TOTPs) for each login attempt. Sigsync goes further by offering an advanced MFA solution using the Microsoft Authenticator app, ensuring enhanced security measures.
