Multi-Factor Authentication (two-factor authentication) is a security feature that allows you to provide an additional piece of evidence (not just your password) in order log in to your account. It requires at least TWO methods of authentication – your password and another piece of information . Think of it this way – you need TWO – things to log in.
“Something you know” (your password)
AND
“Something you get” (MS app approval, SMS text message code, or automated phone call)
