What is Two Factor Authentication?
Two Factor Authentication (2FA) is the foundation of a “Zero Trust” security model. To gain access to or protect sensitive data, 2FA ensures users are who they say they are.
SMS Two Factor Authentication is a verification procedure, that when a user attempts to access a website, software or application. In order to verify the identity of the user, they are automatically sent an SMS to their registered mobile number containing a unique numeric code. This verification code is then entered into the application, verifying them as the user logging into the online account.
2FA is an effective way to protect against security threats targeted at user passwords and accounts, such as phishing, brute-force attacks, credential exploitation and more.
Edgility provides a 2FA API that is super easy to implement and allows you to implement user verification via SMS in minutes.
