When using a username and password to log into your account, you are only using single-factor authentication. This process is somewhat weak because it contains a single piece of information that a malicious person may abused, for example, once the person has gotten your username and password, getting access to your account is easy without an extra step of verification.

Now, Kakitangan.com allows you to enable two-factor authentication for your account. Which means you will need two verification steps before you can access your account. The additional step is an authentication code sent to an email respectively. Once enabled, your account generates a unique authentication code any time there is a sign-in attempt from an unrecognized device. To sign into your account, it will require you to know both the password and have access to the authentication code sent to the email respectively. (Very much similar to the steps of logging into your bank account or approving a fund transfer)
