Implement and secure multi-factor authentication across applications.
MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) combines passwords, TOTP, SMS, biometrics, and hardware keys. Engineers with MFA expertise earn $110-170k mid-level, essential for compliance (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS) and security-conscious businesses.
