Embrace MFA for a Secure Digital Journey
At a theme park, you pass through multiple checkpoints before riding a roller coaster. Similarly, multi-factor authentication (MFA) involves several steps like entering a password, phone code or fingerprint scan. You may be familiar with the MFA process when logging in to your MyTRS account. While it may seem tedious, MFA is crucial for online security. Like theme park checkpoints, the MFA process that's in place to protect your online account ensures our digital "ride" is safe from unseen threats. MFA may slow us down, but it protects us and makes our digital journey secure and enjoyable.
