How It Works
When you activate two-factor authentication for a website or a service, you usually give your mobile phone number. You can use an application, but the phone is the most common way to use two-factor authenticity.Most forms of two-factor authentication ask you to sign in with your user name and password, and then enter a code that is sent to you via SMS. This method not only proves that you know something (the user name and password), but also that you have something (the mobile phone), which you have “registered” as a device to receive these codes.
In most cases, once you use a two-factor authentication on a device, you will not be asked to do that on the device again. Some services may be limited to 30 days or more per year, and the options for which a device can be reliably routed may be given to others.
For example, if Amazon requires two factor authentication, if you want to buy something from a friend’s iPad or a public computer from Amazon, you will need to provide a code that Amazon sends to your mobile phone. But in the Authentication dialog that lets you decide whether this tool should be trusted in the future, the checkbox is on.
