5. You are now done - you will not need to scan the QR code each time you will just need to enter the 6 digit code.

Benefits of MFA
Increases Security
By requiring users to provide multiple credentials prior to accessing accounts, hackers are prevented from using stolen passwords, devices, or other individual pieces of information to enter your network.
Regulatory Compliance
There may be industry or geographical regulations requiring MFA.
Reduces Risk from Compromised Passwords
While passwords are the most common form of authentication, they are the least secure. People may reuse or share passwords, which can also be stolen or guessed, leading to exposure for account holders and system administrators.
Enables Secure Enterprise Mobility
The pandemic made remote work options necessary for many organizations and sped up the digital transformation. Allowing employees to use mobile devices to easily and securely access the resources they need increases productivity.
