What is the benefit of two-factor authentication?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Account security is enhanced
Two-factor authentication requires a password plus a second proof of identity, such as a one-time code, authenticator-app approval, security key, or biometric check. If a password is stolen, the second factor can still block unauthorised access. It does not remove every password requirement, increase internet speed, or print files. Its main benefit is stronger account security.
