Adaptive Authentication

Adaptive authentication is a security process that adjusts the level of verification required based on how risky a login attempt is. For example, if you log in from a familiar device or location, you'll need only your password. But if you're trying to access from an unfamiliar device or location, the system might ask for additional proof, like a code sent to your phone. This approach balances security with convenience by increasing protection only when needed, reducing unnecessary obstacles for trusted users while safeguarding accounts against potential threats.
