The Security feature enables multi-factor authentication (MFA) for your user profile. This feature increases security and significantly reduces the potential for unauthorized access to your service environment.

Unique code for authentication

Multi-factor authentication requires the use of a unique code for authentication, known as a security code, passcode, or one time passcode (OTP). When you log in to the service, you're prompted to enter a security code in addition to your email address and password.
