MFA for Small Business
Quick answer
Multi-factor authentication adds a second proof of identity after a password. Start with email, finance, administrator, registrar, and cloud accounts because those accounts can unlock other systems.
Who this is for: Owners, operators, and teams responsible for business accounts.
What to do
- 01List accounts that can reset passwords, move money, or access customer data.
- 02Enable authenticator or phishing-resistant MFA where the provider supports it.
- 03Store recovery codes securely and test recovery before an emergency.
- 04Review MFA enrollment when someone joins, changes role, or leaves.
What this does not cover
MFA does not fix compromised devices, unsafe recovery channels, or excessive access. It is one control in a broader account security plan.
