What is 2FA (2 Factor Authentication)?<\/h1>

Two-factor Authentication (2FA)<\/a>\u00a0is a process used to increase digital security, whether in access to websites, client areas, platforms, online banking, banking transactions, among others.<\/p>

The use of this authentication is extremely important<\/strong> to combat situations of computer attacks and increase security in access to information.<\/strong> The main objective is to increase security and to avoid, for example, unauthorized access to users’ accounts.<\/strong><\/p>

Did you know that 61% of people reuse passwords in applications\/accounts, and 81% of data violations are related to ineffective or repeated passwords?<\/strong><\/p>

This type of two-factor authentication<\/strong>, as the name itself indicates, requires two forms of authentication,<\/strong> i.e. two forms of validation for the user to access an online account. These two factors usually include a password<\/strong> (previously defined by the user) and another temporary<\/strong> code sent<\/strong> to the user, which is automatically generated to reinforce <\/strong>security.<\/p>

With more than one step of validation during the authentication process, security is increased since there is a guarantee that the user will be allowed access.<\/p>

Digital security is extremely important, both for companies and for their customers\/users. Therefore, security strategies must be robust and composed of several solutions in order to increase their effectiveness.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Impact of 2FA on Business Security<\/h2>

Security for the user and for businesses is extremely important. Therefore, the adoption of 2FA<\/strong> is crucial for both parties.\u00a0<\/p>

The process works as the following: after logging into a website or private account, the second step of verification is performed in order to confirm the user’s identity<\/strong>. In general, as we indicated above, it is a temporary code that is sent to the user to proceed with access.<\/p>

Therefore, companies have used two-factor authentication to protect their websites from unwanted access. Even if someone can get access to a certain account, that will not be enough for them to be able to access it, since the temporary code is sent to a device that only the user can access.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Go4Mobility’s Contribution to the Effectiveness of 2FA<\/h2>

At Go4Mobility,<\/a>\u00a0we have been able to provide a unique and robust API<\/strong> to increase user security through two-factor authentication in your company. The user when entering an application, website, or when is making a bank transaction, after entering the access credentials (first authentication), receives a unique code on your phone sent by\u00a0SMS – One Time Password.<\/a>\u00a0Through this OTP sending<\/strong> process, the user must enter the token\/password to move forward in the verification and validate the access.<\/p>

This service provides the strongest validation that companies seek, and those who do not use it as part of their digital and mobile strategy are increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
