Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security method that requires users to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a resource. It combines something you know (password), something you have (token), and something you are (biometrics).
Authentication
Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user, device, or system before granting access to resources. It typically involves credentials such as passwords, biometrics, security tokens, or digital certificates.
Access Control
Access control is a security mechanism that regulates who or what can view, use, or interact with resources in a computing environment. It enforces policies that grant or deny permissions based on user identity, role, or other attributes.
