• Question 690:

  Which of the following is also known as something you know, something you have, and something you are?

  A. ACL
  B. MFA
  C. SMS
  D. NFC
  B. MFA

  ---

  Explanation

  MFA stands for Multi-Factor Authentication, which is a method of verifying a user's identity using two or more different factors of authentication. The three factors of authentication are something you know, something you have, and something you are. These factors correspond to different types of information or evidence that only the legitimate user should possess or provide. For example: Something you know: a password, a PIN, a security question, etc. Something you have: a smart card, a token, a mobile device, etc. Something you are: a fingerprint, a face, an iris, etc. MFA provides a higher level of security than single-factor authentication, which only uses one factor, such as a password. MFA reduces the risk of unauthorized access, identity theft, and data breaches, as an attacker would need to compromise more than one factor to impersonate a user. MFA is commonly used for online banking, email accounts, cloud services, and other sensitive applications
