What Does Multi-factor Authentication Mean?

Multi-factor authentication is Salesforce's method of authentication that includes two factors that prove a user's identity. The first factor is a username and password, and the second factor is an authenticator app or security key verification method.  

Multi-factor Authentication Method:

Salesforce Authenticator:  

This is a mobile app available on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store. This app integrates nicely with your Salesforce organization. Enter your username and password, click Sign In, and your phrase will appear as a push notification in the Salesforce Authenticator app. From the app, he writes a phrase on the website that only he can log into the Salesforce organization.

Security key:  

A security key is a physical USB drive that is externally attached to verify your identity.
