AWS Multi-Factor Authentication (AWS MFA)<\/a> is an additional layer of security that offers enhanced control over your AWS account settings. It is an opt-in account feature that requires a valid six-digit, single-use code from an authentication device in your physical possession in addition to your standard AWS account credentials before access is granted to your AWS account settings. <\/p>\n

You can use AWS MFA in conjunction with Amazon S3\u2019s Versioning capability for additional protection of your Amazon S3 stored versions. The newer version of MSP360 Explorer PRO<\/a> comes with MFA support for object delete operations.<\/p>\n
