       What Type of Hardening Is Multifactor Authentication?

      MPA is a security technology that needs multiple types or methods of authentication from categories of independent to the user login identity or transactions. Multifactor authentication combined two or more two authorities that are independent such as the password the users know and the second is a security token that the user has and what the user is by utilizing biometric verification methods.

      Aims of multifactor Authentication:

      The main purpose of (MPA) multifactor authentication is to make a defense layer that makes it harder for an unauthorized user to attack the target. Such as computing devices, networks, databases, and physical locations. If one factor is broken the attackers still have one or more barriers to cross before getting into the target.

      Importance:

      The biggest drawback of the traditional user ID and password is that these can easily be compromised. Brute-force attacks are also real warnings, the attackers use password cracking tools to use various combinations of passwords or usernames to find the right sequence. After a trial of guessing the password number of times, the account is locked it also helps protect the organization but still, attackers have various methods to access the system. That is the main reason multifactor authentication helps to decrease security risk.

      Multi-factor authentication methods:

      For verification of identity, an authentication factor is used it is the category of credentials. Additional factors are added in MPA to increase the assurance like requesting access is who or what and what did it say. This process makes hackers’ jobs difficult. The three-authentication factor that you know is,

      • Something you have is a knowledge factor
      • Something you are and a possession factor
      • Inherence factor

      By combining two or more factors from these types is how multifactor authentication works.

      knowledge factor:

      This type of authentication requires the user to answer the security question which are personals like password, PINS (four-digit personal identification numbers), and OTPs (one-time password).

      Possession factor:

      In this authentication, users have specific in their possession to log in like a token, (SIM) phone subscriber identity module card, token, and badge.

      Inherence factor:

      For login, users have a biological trait-like biometric verification method.
