What is Multi Factor Authentication or 2FA?

As Riot put it “MFA is an electronic security measure which permits access to a person’s account only after they have successfully presented two forms of authentication.”

So in simple terms, to get into an account you have to provide more than one form of authentication.

This is an Opt-only feature, which means the player has to option to enable or disable MFA for their account. But we recommend you enable MFA for your account as it provides an extra layer for security for your account. And also some peace of mind for you knowing your account is secured.
