Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enhances security by requiring users to provide multiple forms of verification before accessing their accounts. Here’s how it keeps your users safe:

1. Reduces Risk of Stolen Credentials

Even if a hacker steals a password (via phishing, data breaches, or brute force attacks), they won’t be able to access an account without the second factor (e.g., a one-time code or biometric verification).

2. Protects Against Phishing & Social Engineering

MFA helps prevent unauthorised access even if users accidentally share their passwords with malicious actors. Attackers would still need the second authentication factor.

3. Mitigates Credential Stuffing Attacks

Cybercriminals often use automated tools to try known username-password pairs from previous data breaches. MFA stops them from gaining access without the extra verification step.

4. Adds Security Without Major Friction

Modern MFA solutions (like push notifications, biometrics, or authenticator apps) make it easy for legitimate users to log in securely while blocking unauthorised attempts.

5. Provides Real-Time Alerts on Suspicious Logins

Many MFA systems notify users when a login attempt is made from a new device or location, allowing them to take immediate action if the attempt is fraudulent.
