Need to be clear that MFA is form of 2FA and TFA without being confusing. And it's not clear that "MFA" is standardized across all agencies, but it is a better general-purpose term.

So lets switch to "MFA" but maybe to make it clear in the first instance on each page we should say MFA (TFA/2FA) so that people know what we are talking about. MFA is more general, but 2FA is much more commonly used.
