WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Learning objectives
- Approve prompts only for sign-ins you started.
The useful habit
MFA combines independent kinds of proof. It reduces many password-only risks, but users still need to recognise unexpected prompts and protect recovery access.
Apply it
You receive an approval prompt you did not initiate. Deny it and report it through a known channel.
