MFA requires users to provide multiple forms of identification to access their account.

## Email 2FA

If 2-factor authentication is enabled in the Personal settings page, email will be used for MFA by default.

## Mobile Authenticator 2FA

You can use any mobile authenticator app (Authy, Google Authenticator, Duo, etc.) to secure your account. After registration with an authenticator, select **Mobile Authenticator** as your 2FA method.

## Entra ID / Azure AD MFA

<Note>
    Before proceeding make sure you've enabled [SAML SSO for Entra ID / Azure AD](./sso/azure).

    We also encourage you to have your team download and setup the
    [Microsoft Authenticator App](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/mobile-authenticator-app) prior to enabling MFA.

    <Note>
      By default all users except the configuring admin will be setup to require
      MFA. Microsoft encourages keeping at least one admin excluded from MFA to
      prevent accidental lockout.
