It means that it confirms the user’s identity multiple times, before granting them access.

For example: security question, software or else a link where it generates Authentication code or in some cases, It can also have features like bio-metric information.

2.Code Obfuscation:

There is term called “Code Obfuscation”

In this , during Android app development this technique is implemented by making the source code of an application is difficult to read and it become impossible for the third party to use it.

3.Encrypt the Data:

Most of us know about this encryption method .

It involves the data transmitted between back-end server and in the app also.
