The need to balance security and convenience is a key aspect of modern authentication, and this is where step-up authentication plays a critical role. Step-up authentication is a dynamic security authentication flow that adapts to the level of risk associated with a user's actions, keeping users more productive and your resources more secure.

The application allows users to log in with minimal authentication steps such as username and password or social media identity without requiring multi-factor authentication. However, for risky actions such as high-value transactions or accessing sensitive data, the application requires the user to enter additional credentials such as logging in with a second and strong authentication factor.
