- +Related to: public-key-infrastructure, cryptography
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Multi-Factor Authentication
Developers should implement MFA to protect sensitive data and systems, especially for applications handling financial transactions, healthcare records, or user accounts
