📄️ What is 2FA?

2FA is a security mechanism that requires two different methods of identity authentication to access something. For emails, the centrally enforced use of 2FA means that, in order to access their emails, your staff will need to verify their identity with an additional authentication method to check that they are not an imposter. Typically, the additional method is a code sent via SMS or via an app installed on your mobile phone that must be entered in order to access the email account. 2FA is also known as "Two-Step Verification" or "Multi-Factor Authentication" (MFA).
