Security Fundamentals

Which two of the following are examples of multifactor authentication?

Choose two
  • A single sign-on
  • B soft tokens
  • C passwords that expire
  • D shared password repository
  • E unique user knowledge
Explanation

Multifactor authentication requires credentials from at least two different categories, such as something the user knows and something the user has. Soft tokens provide a possession factor because the user must have the token-generating device or app. Unique user knowledge provides a knowledge factor because it relies on information only the user should know. The other options are authentication management or password-policy concepts, not distinct MFA factors.
