Multi-factor authentication (MFA) enhances security for Salesforce user accounts by requiring two or more forms of identification during login, as traditional usernames and passwords are no longer sufficient against cyber threats. Salesforce requires MFA for all users starting February 1, 2022, and it is available at no additional cost, utilizing methods such as the Salesforce Authenticator app, security keys, and third-party TOTP applications. Implementing MFA involves using the Salesforce Authenticator app, which integrates into the login process and requires users to have a smartphone.

3. Why is Salesforce requiring MFA?
Today, it's more important than ever to enforce stronger data security measures.
An important part of your security strategy is protecting access to your Salesforce
user accounts. Usernames and passwords alone no longer offer adequate
protection against cyber attacks.
That's where MFA comes in.

4. Multi-factor Authentication Methods:
1. Salesforce Authenticator - A free mobile app that integrates with your
login process to let users verify their identity via push notifications.
1. Security keys - Signing in with this option enables users to simply
connect the key to their computer then press the key’s button to verify
their identity.
1. Third-party TOTP authentication applications - Applications that
generate a unique temporary verification code that the user enters
when prompted. This code is called a time-based one-time password.
