How does Two-Factor authentication (2FA) work ?
- Firstly, the user navigates to the login page of the application or a website. For instance www.example.com/login.
- User enters a username and password. User’s login credentials are checked by their respective server. This is the first factor of authentication.
- The site then prompts the user with the 2nd step authentication E.g Pop up asking for OTP sent over SMS /Email.
- When the user enters the second factor like OTP or Push notification it is checked against the database system if the second factor is correct.
- After successfully completing the 2nd factor authentication user is granted access to the application or a website.
