FHA will use multifactor authentication to root out phishing scams
Briefly

Multifactor authentication (MFA) is a crucial cybersecurity mechanism that adds an additional layer of protection to online accounts by requiring more than just a password. The FHA has highlighted MFA as a vital tool to counteract phishing scams, which can take various deceptive forms. Effective July 28, MFA will be mandatory for all FHAC users, underscoring the agency's commitment to safeguarding user data and enhancing access control. Users are advised to set up MFA promptly to maintain access, as those who do not comply will be unable to log into FHAC.
Multifactor authentication (MFA) strengthens online security by requiring additional verification beyond passwords. This mechanism significantly reduces the risk of account compromise, particularly against sophisticated phishing attacks.
The FHA emphasizes MFA's importance in combating phishing scams, noting that while some attempts are easily identified, others are more subtle and require robust security measures.
