什么是多重身份验证 MFA(Multi-Factor Authentication )?

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), also known as Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), is a security 

mechanism that requires users to provide two or more authentication factors before gaining access 

to a system or application.

多重身份验证 (MFA) 也称为双因素身份验证 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication),是一种要求用户在登录系统或应用程序之前提供两个或多个身份验证因素的安全机制。

accounts within Paradigm as it significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised access.

这是一项强大的安全措施,可以显着降低未经授权登录的风险,从而增强对 Paradigm 内的学生敏感数据和用户帐户的保护。

After successful primary authentication, users are prompted to provide an additional authentication 

factor as secondary authentication in form of a Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) via an app on 

your phone.

成功进行主要的身份验证后,系统会提示用户通过手机上的应用程序以基于时间的一次性密码 TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password)的形式提供额外的身份验证因素作为辅助身份验证。


The recommended TOTP app is the Google Authenticator.

推荐的基于时间的一次性密码 (TOTP)应用程序是 Google Authenticator
