The idea is that there are three ways to identify a user: Something they KNOW (eg, a password) Something they HAVE (eg, an ID card) Something they ARE (eg, a thumbprint) MFA uses two or more of these. The idea is, in order for someone to impersonate you, they have to not just trick you into giving them your password, but ALSO get your eyeballs or your phone or etc. Which, needless to say, is MUCH harder. <cite>RetuenOfDevsman posted [p:979312530] in dae annoye...
