# Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)

**Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)** is a comprehensive security method designed to enhance user authentication processes. This approach requires users to verify their identity by providing at least two different forms of identification before gaining access. Typically, these factors include something the user knows (like a password), something the user has (such as a mobile device), or something the user is (biometric verification).

With **Xenioo**, enabling MFA is straightforward and significantly boosts security. By adding a **Second verification factor** to the traditional username and password login process, Xenioo ensures a more robust authentication mechanism. This second factor involves the input of a valid **One-Time Password (OTP)**, which is dynamically generated by a chosen provider during the initial configuration setup.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.xenioo.com/basic-concepts/your-account/multi-factor-authentication-mfa.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
