Authentication is the process of verifying the legitimacy of data, most often data used by people attempting to access a system. Multi-factor authentication (most commonly two-factor authentication, or 2FA) is the use of additional data or components, like a password, PIN, a secret question, or simply a randomly generated code, to provide additional access control and security.
