Two-factor
authentication adds one more lever of authentication to Single factor
Authentication (SFA). We can’t guarantee that two-factor authentication solves
all problems, but two-factor authentication somehow mitigates the attacks.
How two-factor authentication works?
In two-factor
authentication, user authenticate two times, one is using his/her id and
password, another one is using a physical token, such as a card, one
time password, voice reorganization, finger print etc.,
The common example is
bank transactions, whenever you want to transfer money to other accounts,
a.
First you
login to the bank site using your username and password. This is first level of
authentication.
b.
Before transferring
money, you will get OTP (one time password) to your mobile.
