two-factor
Paired authentication method
Two-factor describes authentication or verification requiring two distinct types of credentials—typically something you know (a password) and something you have (a phone or security key): Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security.
The term appears almost exclusively in computing and security contexts.
Often abbreviated 2FA.
