Setting Up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

What is MFA?

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) or Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is an essential security feature that adds an extra layer of protection to your Built account. It helps prevent unauthorized access and fraud by requiring users to verify their identity through a secondary method beyond just a password. Built has adopted a "most-protective" approach to security in compliance with state regulations and to better safeguard user information and payment transactions.
