Basically, MFA is a way of securing your data, with users requiring different 'factors' or credentials to gain access.

Something you know, such as a password, PIN or answers to secret questions.
Location Factor

Time Factor
Limiting login by time, such as work schedules, or time limitations.
Possession Factor
Something you have, such as a
- ne-time password (OTP), keyfob
- r a security token.
