Explanation:
Two-factor authentication (T-FA) refers to any authentication protocol that requires two
independent ways to establish identity and privileges. Common implementations of two-factor
authentication use ‘something you know’ as one of the two factors, and use either ‘something you
have’ or ‘something you are’ as
the other factor. In fact, using more than one factor is also called strong authentication. On the
other hand, using just one factor is considered by some weak authentication.
