Multifactor Authentication

aliases:

    MFA

    A form of user authentication that requires several methods instead of just one in order to grant access to secured property.

    There are three basic types of authentication:

    • something you know (username/password; PIN)
    • something you have (key; keycard; key fob)
    • something you are (biometrics; fingerprint)
