Introduction
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is one of the alternatives when it comes to Multi-Factor Authentication.
The user is only granted access by presenting 2 pieces of evidence (hence the Two-Factor).
In the case of our implementation, the 2 factors are:
The password
A One-Time Password (OTP) that is generated through a third- party authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator).
With these two factors, knowledge (password) & possession (OTP), we increase the security of the user account.

This section gives instructions on how to set up 2FA on Monsido and how to use it to log in.
