Multifactor authentication is a security enhancement that allows you to present at least two pieces of evidence, or factors, to identify yourself when logging into an account. It is a method of confirming your identity by using a combination of two different factors – 1) Something you know (password) and 2) something you have.

MFA is an authentication method that requires more than one verification method for users when signing into the Office Portal.
