## What is the purpose of Multifactor Authentication (MFA)?

Even if your user account is protected with a strong password, a successful phishing attack or stolen credential can leave you vulnerable. MFA is a core defense preventing account takeovers. In general, accounts using MFA are more secure, since an attacker must compromise both the password and verification method to access your account. If an attacker has access to one, but not both, they will remain locked out.
Recent breaches show that MFA isn’t much of a hurdle for some hackers to clear.
