<h1>Multi-factor authentication (MFA)</h1>   <p><img src="/Portals/0/_PANTHEONGUIDE_IMAGES/UserGuide/Getting-started-tag-EN.png" /></p>   <p><strong>Multi-factor authentication</strong> (<strong>MFA</strong>) or <strong>Two-factor authentication</strong> (<strong>2FA</strong>) provides an extra layer of security by requiring two distinct forms of identity verification to access services.</p>   <p>As users often resort to simple, repetitive passwords across multiple accounts, this practice increases vulnerability to cyber attacks. Even if a strong, unique password is utilized, falling prey to phishing schemes can lead to unauthorized access, highlighting the risk of using the same password across different services.</p>   <p>Implementing MFA enhances security by combining something you know (like a password) with something you have (such as a code sent to your smartphone) or something you are (biometric verification). This added verification step acts as a barrier for attackers even if they manage to obtain a password.</p>   <p>While no security method is foolproof, MFA significantly reduces the likelihood of unauthorized access.&nbsp;</p>   <table class="us-template-hint">  <tbody>   <tr>    <td><img src="/Portals/0/_PANTHEONGUIDE_IMAGES/Common/Icons/Hint-icon.png" /></td>    <td>    <h5>Hint</h5>      <p>Read more about multi-factor authentication in article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.varninainternetu.si/dvofaktorska-avtentikacija-kljuc-do-vecje-zascite-gesel/" target="_blank">Dvofaktorska avtentikacija: ključ do večje varnosti va&scaron;ih računov</a>.</p>    </td>   </tr>  </tbody> </table>   <p>&nbsp;</p>   <p>In PANTHEON, the second step for MFA is sending a token to user&#39;s selected phone number.
