For all Salesforce products, we retired two-factor authentication (2FA) terminology and moved to the industry standard term of multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Essentials, Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, Developer, and Contact Manager Editions.
