MFA - Multi-factor authentication for your mailbox

Multi-factor authentication, 2FA or MFA as it's commonly abbreviated, adds an extra step to your basic login procedure. Without 2FA, the password is your single factor of authentication: you enter your username and password, then you're done.

With MFA, you log in to the Webmail by entering your username and password and the six-digit code provided by an app installed on your smartphone. 

In the Webmail, you will be prompted to enter the MFA code in a new pop-up window.
