Two factor authentication (2FA) or two step verification is a security procedure in which a user verifies its identity to cross the security factor. These factors can include static username and password as well as the OTP to approve authentication.
You can use two-factor authentication(2FA) to protect your logins from phishing, social engineering, and brute-force password attacks.
Two factor authentication (2FA) has come into play to get over the diminished security. Data must be protected by verifying that users who wish to access it are who they claim to be. The use of 2FA two step verification can help protect passwords and accounts from a variety of security threats, such as phishing, brute-force attacks, credential threat and more.
Mostly the static username and password are predominant-primary authentication to login into an application. It is always recommended to add aa separate channel like a mobile phone to complete your second factor.
Your static password can be stolen if an attacker is able to tap into your computer via your Internet connection if both are delivered over the same channel.
It is impossible for a hacker to pretend to be you so as to gain unauthorized access. You rely on a 2FA device for accessing information stored in applications.
You can prevent accessing your accounts without the physical device to complete the second factor by integrating two step verification into your applications.
Two-factor authentication(2FA) is becoming increasingly obvious for passwords alone are not sufficient to adequately protect user accounts in today's technological environment, so it necessitates the adoption.
It is easy for anyone to crack a conventional password once they get their hands on it. It is possible to steal user passwords if a user writes them down on paper. Two-factor authentication(2FA), however, verifies a user's identity with a second device after he or she enters a password.
In many cases, hackers simply manipulate users into divulging their passwords. A hacker can earn the trust of the user by pretending to be a business professional at the user's company. Every login attempt after a password has been entered is verified by OTPs on a secondary device.
The ability to track and copy a person's password even if they haven't written it down can be obtained with malware. Each scope is tracked by hackers, and passwords are stored so that they can use them later. The second layer of validation in 2FA lets a user ensure that the login attempt is their own, even if their password has been compromised.
It's common for hackers to attach links to emails that link to malicious websites designed either to infect a computer or to trick a user into divulging their passwords. By adding a second layer of validation after a password has been entered, 2FA combats phishing as it ensures a password can't be used by another party.
Hackers use brute-force attacks to generate random passwords until they reach the right sequence for a specific computer.Access is granted after a successful login attempt is validated using 2FA's second layer of protection.
SMS based 2FA is an extra layer of security that works on the OTP code to validate the user identity. The user has to authenticate the code into the application.
Voice 2FA sends the code through the live phone call. The TTS system pronounces the one time password that needs to be authenticated to verify the identity.
The email 2FA works on the OTP as well as the links verification service. An automated OTP is triggered via a registered email ID. The email 2FA can also be used to verify the link to authenticate user identity.
Easy integration of API enables the two factor authentication of 2FA on desired channels. Developer friendly API with complete Document support.

Using secure technologies, healthcare providers across the globe make it possible for their clinicians and physicians to access patient data from any location, at any time, and from any device. As well as safeguard the client oriented login based data.
Security solutions such as two-factor authentication (FFA) have become increasingly important for retailers. FFA enables retailers to authenticate their users' identities when they access their networks from remote desktops or mobile phones.
2FA is used by the banking industry to protect against the many hacking attempts made on the banks' internal and client's systems. Authkey’s OTP-based authentication has proven helpful in improving the resilience of many large banks.
Colleges,Universities and private institutions use 2FA to secure their applications and student data. Institutions handle thousands of sensitive user records, including financial information. Hacking and malicious breaches of security have been a problem for institutions with such valuable data.
The personal data of billions of users is protected by two-factor authentication (F2FA) on social media platforms and agencies worldwide. As a means of protecting their users from hacking attempts on their internal networks, social media companies like Facebook use push and OTP-based authentication.
As government agencies push for cloud and mobile adoption, they are being challenged to undergo major IT infrastructure changes at an uncomfortable pace. Govt data and platforms are always an eye catch for hackers. Users need to be protected while still being able to roll out security solutions in a realistic timeframe.
Whenever employees need access outside of the security perimeters of a company, they require a 2FA solution. Firewalls are not sufficient when users need access beyond the boundaries of a company.
Verify solves complex development challenges so you can focus on the code that counts. Verify checks the user’s input matches the code. If they match, Verify registers the phone number as approved.
