There were actually 2 different threads that were talking about these subjects:īoth of these threads are talking about ways to use MFA or 2FA with GlobalProtect. I am grouping these together in order to help clear up confusion as well as to help provide information and links on the configuration articles that we have on TechDocs. “ Multi-factor ” just means any number of factors greater than one. Multi-factor authentication could involve two of the factors or it could involve all three. Two - factor authentication always utilizes two of these factors to verify the user's identity. To start with, t he main difference between MFA and 2FA is simple. This week's topic is going to be talking about Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for GlobalProtect (GP) and PAN-OS. If you don't remember, we used to blog about different discussions that would come up on the LIVEcommunity discussion areas that we felt needed to be talked about in a weekly blog, aka Discussion of the Week (DOTW).
