Multi Factor Authentication (MFA)
nMulti-Factor Authenication (MFA) is a security process that requires users to provide multiple forms of identification to verify their identity when accessing systems such as RTA. It adds an extra layer of security beyond a password, making it harder for unauthorized idividuals to gain access.
