Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an added layer of security which makes it harder for someone else to get into your CSP account, even if they have your password.

If you try to log in from a device that we don’t recognize, for example a computer from which you have never logged in to the CSP before, we ask you to enter a verification code (the second factor) to make sure it is really you. This verification code is generated by your authenticator app or sent in a text message to your mobile phone.

If someone else is trying to log into your account, they won’t get the code, which could stop them from accessing your account.
