MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication)
Definition
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security mechanism requiring the presentation of at least two pieces of identity evidence belonging to different categories: something you know (password), something you have (OTP SMS, YubiKey), or something you are (biometrics). MFA is synonymous with strong authentication and is required to achieve the AES eIDAS level. On Certyneo, administrator access is protected by mandatory MFA.
