Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security system that requires two distinct forms of identification in order to access something.
Two-factor authentication can be used to strengthen the security of an online account, a smartphone, or even a door. 2FA does this by requiring two types of information from the user, a password or personal identification number (PIN), a code sent to the user's smartphone (called a message authentication code), or a fingerprint before whatever is being secured can be accessed.
