    I have also seen some discussion on whether SCA is synonymous with 2FA. I guess the blog on the link below is not the only example and this may already be on @eskbankers thread. I will need to revisit that to see what was said on this site.

    It's technically true that SCA and 2FA aren't strictly synonymous but my understanding is that from a consumer perspective, 2FA is the visible manifestation of SCA, even though there are other aspects in the background.

    LOL...This is waht happens when banks get dragged in the 21C by the EU. SCA is simply saying MFA must be used. 2FA is an implementation of MFA using 2 factors...
