Explanation
Two-factor authentication requires something you know (password) plus something you have (like a code sent to your phone) or something you are (biometric). According to Microsoft research cited by CISA, enabling MFA can prevent up to 99% of automated account takeover attacks.
Password managers generate and store unique, complex passwords for every account, which cybersecurity experts consider one of the most effective defenses against data breaches.
