| # Multi-Factor Authentication | ||||
|  | ||||
| Multi-factor authentication - most often two-factor authentication or 2FA - is an electronic | ||||
| authentication method that consists of having additional authentication mechanisms to the standard | ||||
| way which is most often a password. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Using the Smartphone as an Authentication Device | ||||
|  | ||||
| Using Smartphones or other [smart devices](/wiki/smart_devices.md) is an easy way to set up | ||||
| multi-factor authentication because it is a device most people carry with them day by day. | ||||
| For setting it up refer to the | ||||
| [corresponding section of the Android entry](/wiki/android.md#multi-factor-authentication). | ||||
