Meaning
The full form of 2FA is Two-Factor Authentication. It is a security process that requires users to verify their identity using two different methods before gaining access to an account or completing a transaction.
How It Works
2FA combines two out of three types of authentication factors:
- Something you know (like a password or PIN)
- Something you have (like an OTP sent to your phone)
- Something you are (like fingerprint or face recognition)
Why It’s Important
2FA greatly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, making your digital payments, banking, and login systems more secure.
Use Cases
Used in UPI payments, online banking, wallet logins, and mobile apps.
