Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multi-factor authentication involves combining two or more basic authentication methods such as something you know (password), something you have (smart card), or something you are (biometric data) to strengthen the security of the authentication process. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B is talking about an access control list, not multi-factor authentication. Option C is incorrect as multi-factor authentication provides stronger authentication than the use of simple passwords. Option D is also incorrect as multi-factor authentication involves using different types of authentication methods, not multiple passwords.
