2fa: Enhancing App Security with Two-Factor Authentication
Competitive Landscape Two-factor authentication (2FA) outperforms one-factor authentication (1FA) by adding an extra layer of security, making it harder for unauthorized users to access accounts. Compared to other multi-factor authentication methods, like SMS-based codes, 2FA provides enhanced security as it utilizes a physical device, like a hardware token or smartphone application, that is harder to compromise than a phone number. 2FA’s balance of security and convenience makes it a widely adopted solution, while alternative methods may be more burdensome or less secure....
