Azure MFA (Multifactor Authentication) refers to the process of adding an extra layer of security to Microsoft Azure accounts by requiring users to verify their identity with additional factors such as a phone call, text message, or mobile app notification.

Multi-Factor Authentication refers to a security process that requires users to provide multiple forms of verification to gain access to a system or application.

Multi-Factor Authentication enhances security by adding additional layers of protection, making it more difficult for unauthorized individuals to access sensitive information. Knowledge of this skill is applied in various contexts, including online banking, corporate networks, and personal accounts, to mitigate the risk of data breaches and identity theft.
