How to Set Up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a robust security system that requires additional credentials beyond a username and password to verify a user's identity. These credentials could include a code from the user's smartphone, the answer to a security question, a fingerprint, or facial recognition. This tutorial will guide you through the process of setting up MFA on your mobile device to ensure the security of your 4Finance account.
