Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multi-factor authentication involves the use of two or more basic authentication methods, such as a password and a security token or biometric authentication. This provides stronger security than relying solely on a password, as it requires multiple factors to be verified before granting access. Option B describes an access control list, option C is incorrect as multi-factor authentication is stronger than using a single effective password, and option D is not accurate as multiple passwords would not qualify as multi-factor authentication.
