A security measure used to authenticate the identity of online customers when making payments. This authentication is based on two-factor identification, which requires customers to provide two out of three forms of authentication: something they know (like a password), something they have (like a personal device or card), and something they are (like a biometric identifier). SCA helps to protect customers and their payment information from fraud and identity theft.
