Multi-Factor Authentication

Hello everyone, does anyone know what exactly is Multi-Factor Authentication a.k.a, MFA ?

Hey Anisha, AWS MFA provides an extra level of security that you can apply to your AWS environment. It uses an authentication device that continually generates random, six-digit authentication codes (single-use). You can get MFA by installing a virtual AWS MFA compatible application on a device such as your smartphone. Eg: Google Authenticator. With AWS MFA enabled, when a user signs in to an AWS website, they will be prompted for their username and password, as well as for an authentication code from their AWS MFA device. AWS does not charge any additional fees for the use of MFA with your AWS account.
Hope this gives you an idea about MFA :slight_smile:
