United States: SMS-based MFA to access Veteran services
In the United States, the country’s Department of Veteran Affairs has underlined the importance of a multi-factor authentication (MFA) system utilizing one-time passwords sent by text, which was recently introduced for accessing veteran services digitally.
According to an announcement form the Department, MFA comes with an additional layer of security when veterans have to access and manage their benefits.
“It’s great to see our Veteran user community embrace this option,” says Charles Worthington, chief technology officer at VA’s Office of Information and Technology (OIT).
