What Is Multi-Factor Authentication and How Does It Protect You?

Why a single password isn't enough to protect you from hackers.

As much as we all love our smart devices, our increasing reliance on them presents a cybersecurity challenge that gets bigger with each passing year. In 2001, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) received 325,519 reports of fraud, identity theft and other scams. Ten years later in 2011, close to 1.9 million such claims were filed with the FTC.
