Deep Dive: Why Multi‑Factor Authentication Works

Passwords alone are no longer enough to protect your accounts. Data breaches, phishing attacks, and password‑reuse habits make it easy for criminals to obtain login credentials. Multi‑Factor Authentication (MFA) adds a second layer—something you have or something you are—to block unauthorized access even if your password is compromised.

How to stay safe: Use app‑based authenticators or hardware keys whenever possible. SMS codes are better than nothing, but they can be intercepted or SIM‑swapped, so stronger methods offer better protection.
