Which of the following is used in addition to a password to implement MFA?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) combines at least two of the following factors: something you know (password), something you have (a phone-generated or SMS-delivered one-time code), and something you are (biometric). Sending a code to the user's phone provides a ''something you have'' factor in addition to the password.

I thought D could work too, but it’s not really MFA.

Wait, is verifying the date of birth really not an option?

Requiring a PIN sounds familiar, but I can't recall if that's typically used alongside a password for MFA.

I feel like prompting the user to solve a simple math problem could be considered MFA, but it seems less secure than other options.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think verifying the user's date of birth isn't really a strong MFA method.

I think sending a code to the user's phone is definitely a common method for MFA, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the only one.

Hmm, I'm a little confused by the options here. Verifying the user's date of birth or solving a math problem doesn't really seem like a typical multi-factor authentication method. I think I'm going to go with sending a code to the user's phone.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The key to multi-factor authentication is using something in addition to a password that the user has, like their phone or a hardware token. Sending a code to the user's phone is definitely the way to go.

Okay, let's see. Multi-factor authentication means you need more than just a password to log in, right? I'm guessing the answer is either sending a code to the user's phone or requiring a PIN. Those seem like the most common additional factors.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know multi-factor authentication involves something in addition to a password, but I'm not totally sure what the options are. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty sure the answer is sending a code to the user's phone, which is a common way to implement multi-factor authentication.
