Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring not only a password and username but also something that only the user has on them, such as a piece of information only they should know or have immediately to hand - such as a physical token or a message sent to their cell phone or email. This makes it much harder for potential intruders to gain access and steal personal data or identity.
