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.

Authentication Multi-Factor MFA क्या है

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) requires users to verify their identity using two or more independent factors: something you know (password), something you have (phone, hardware key), or something you are (fingerprint, face). MFA dramatically reduces unauthorized access risk. MFA is no longer optional; it's mandatory for regulatory compliance and user trust. Breaches and credential stuffing attacks are rampant. MFA is the most effective defense. Key reasons:

❓ सामान्य प्रश्न

What are the most common MFA methods?

TOTP (time-based one-time passwords, like Google Authenticator), SMS OTP, email verification, hardware keys (YubiKey), and biometrics.

Is SMS OTP secure?

Less secure than TOTP or hardware keys (vulnerable to SIM swapping). But better than no MFA. Use SMS as fallback, not primary.

What is WebAuthn and why is it better?

WebAuthn (FIDO2) uses public-key cryptography for passwordless login. No secrets to intercept; cryptographically bound to device. Most secure option.

Should I force or encourage MFA?

Compliance mandates (HIPAA, SOC 2) require forced MFA for sensitive roles. For consumers, encourage with benefits (feature access); forcing causes churn.

How do I handle lost MFA devices?

Provide recovery codes (10 single-use codes printed at setup). Store hashed codes in database. Users save them securely.

What is the user experience hit of MFA?

TOTP adds 5-10 seconds per login. Push notifications and biometric are faster. Balance security vs. friction.
