General
What is it?
- MFA (Multi Factor Authentication) enhances your security by requiring to enter a code (= a second factor, 2-Factor-Authentication/2FA).
Why so complicated?
- Unfortunately, security always comes with an extra amount of effort. Why does need an apartment a door lock? If I loose the key, I'm in trouble?!
Why so many different MFA types?
- Each solution has it own advantage and disadvantage - again, unfortunately there is no one solution who fits all requirements.
What MFA types are supported at https://login.math.uzh.ch?
- TOTP - One time token (recommended for every day use)
- Recovery code
