Explanation

SAML is an open standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, especially between an identity provider and a service provider. SAML supports multi-factor authentication by allowing the identity provider to require the user to present two or more factors of evidence to prove their identity. For example, the user may need to enter a password and a one-time code sent to their phone, or scan their fingerprint and face.
