Complex passwords are hard to remember, and users often resort to writing them on a piece of paper, which compromises the security that complex passwords are supposed to provide. Two-factor authentication mitigates this problem by requiring an additional proof with a time or event-based dynamic second factor password. This keeps users safe even when attackers gain knowledge of their passwords. Two-factor authentication also mitigates attacks conducted through malware, phishing and keylogging .
