Explanation

Multifactor authentication (MFA) enhances security by requiring users to provide multiple forms of authentication before gaining access to systems or data. These factors typically include: 1. Something you know (e.g., a password or PIN). 2. Something you have (e.g., a hardware token or mobile phone). 3. Something you are (e.g., biometric data like a fingerprint or facial recognition). This layered security approach significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches by making it harder for attackers to compromise multiple authentication factors.
