A one-time code, a push approval, and a hardware-backed credential all add another authentication step, yet they behave differently under phishing, malware, social engineering, and account recovery attacks.</p> <p>The useful question is therefore not simply whether MFA is enabled. It is whether the authentication method resists the threats that matter for the account being protected.</p>
