Why is MFA Important?
**1. Enhanced Security: MFA adds an extra layer of protection beyond just a username and password. By requiring a second form of verification via an authentication app, it becomes significantly harder for unauthorized users to gain access to your account.
**2. Protection Against Credential Theft: Even if a hacker manages to obtain your password through phishing, infostealer malware, or other means, they would still need the second factor to access your account. This greatly reduces the risk of unauthorized access.
**3. Compliance and Best Practices: Many industry standards and regulations now require the use of MFA for sensitive data and systems. Enabling MFA helps ensure compliance with these standards and demonstrates your commitment to protecting your customers' data.
By enabling MFA, you are taking a crucial step in safeguarding your account and data.
