Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung (2FA)

Two-factor authentication requires a second, independent proof of identity at login in addition to the password — such as a code from an app on a smartphone. Even if a password is stolen, an account remains protected as a result.
