What does a Two Factor Authentication System enhance?

A Two Factor Authentication System significantly enhances the security of user access by requiring an additional verification method beyond just a password. This typically involves something the user knows (like a password) and something the user has (like a smartphone to receive a code). The two layers of security make it much harder for unauthorized individuals to gain access to sensitive information even if they have managed to obtain a user's password.

While speed of logins and convenience of password management are important considerations for user experience, they are generally not improved by implementing two-factor authentication; in fact, they may take longer and require more effort due to the additional step involved. Similarly, while two-step verification can contribute to the overall security of health applications, its primary purpose is directly related to enhancing user access security rather than the functionality of these apps. Thus, the focus of two-factor authentication aligns squarely with improving access security.
