How old is two-factor authentication?

Older than life itself.

OK, not really. But 2FA is nothing new. When you use your credit card and you must enter in your ZIP code to confirm a charge, that's an example of 2FA in action. You must provide a physical factor, the card, and a knowledge factor, the ZIP code.



"I think that will come faster in the consumer space because they're not dealing with all this cruft from the legacy of 2FA from the '80s,"





MFA has been around in different forms since the 80's


MFA is as old as life itself
