Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a multi-factor authentication.
To get access to a site, users must present 2 pieces of evidence.
In the case of our implementation, the 2 factors are:
The password
A One-Time Password (OTP) that is generated through a third-party authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator).
With these two factors, knowledge (password) and possession (OTP), we increase the security of the user account.
This article gives instructions on how to enable 2FA.
