What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security method that requires users to provide two or more forms of identification to gain access to a system or account. It's like adding an extra lock to your digital door for enhanced protection.

What is Adaptive MFA?

Adaptive MFA selectively prompts for stronger factors (passkeys, TOTP, OTP) based on risk rather than always-on MFA for everyone. Pair it with Authgear's built-in rate limits, CAPTCHA, and account lockout for layered defense.
