Recently, and after the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of using educational digital platforms to expand the employment of distance education in order to achieve safety for members of the human system in education, and on the other hand, provide modern learning environments using interactive technologies to enable the student and teacher to access to learning resources in any time and from anywhere, which achieves the targeted learning outcomes in no time and with the least effort.

the current research aims to deal with educational digital platforms and increase their effectiveness and procedures for securing their uses and dealing with their resources through the use of the modern technology called multi-factor authentication in order to control the access to the resources of these platforms so that the user will have the right to access to the resources of these platforms and deal with them by going through stages it requires providing several independent evidences from each other that includes at least two of the following categories: knowledge, possession, and biometric features.

security within digital platforms and data protection is a source of great concern to users, and this can be achieved by integrating more than one security factor to log into these platforms and increase security in them.

therefore, there is a need to develop a mechanism to enhance the use of multi-factor authentication within educational digital platforms to reduce security threats , ensure confidentiality and the safety of user data within those platforms.
