Yubico, of YubiKey fame, has issued a multi-factor authentication (MFA) guide to help better define common and new industry terms, as well as the standards that are supporting modern authentication. If you’re not using MFA to protect your online identity then you really must, and Yubico’s guide can help you see what it is all about.
