A domain name registrar may suggest and/or allow a user to select one or more domain names registered to the user for on demand multifactor authentication. The user may select one or more protected activities that trigger the enhanced security for the selected domain name(s). The user may also enter a plurality of authenticatees, contact information for the authenticatees and a minimum number of authenticatees required to approve the one or more protected activities. The user and/or authenticatees may also enter at least two authentication methods for each authenticatee and corresponding correct responses. The selected domain names are thus protected from the protected activities until approved by a minimum number of authenticatees using at least a first authentication method and a second authentication method selected from different groups of "what you know," what you have" and "what you are" authentication methods.
