Exam 100-150 Topic 1 Question 8 Discussion

Explanation:
The correct matching of the MFA factors to their examples is as follows:
Entering a one-time security code sent to your device after logging in: Possession
Holding your phone to your face to be recognized: Inherence
Specifying your user name and password to log on to a service: Knowledge
Here's why each factor matches the example:
Possession: This factor is something the user has, like a mobile device. A one-time security code sent to this device falls under this category.
Inherence: This factor is something the user is, such as a biometric characteristic. Facial recognition using a phone is an example of this factor.
Knowledge: This factor is something the user knows, like a password or PIN.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enhances security by requiring two or more of these factors to verify a user's identity before granting access.
Entering a one-time security code sent to your device after logging in.
Factor: Possession
This factor relates to something you have, such as a device that receives a security code.
Holding your phone to your face to be recognized.
Factor: Inference (typically referred to as Inherence or Biometric)
This factor relates to something you are, such as biometric authentication like facial recognition.
Specifying your username and password to log on to a service.
Factor: Knowledge
This factor relates to something you know, such as a username and password.
Possession Factor: This involves something the user has in their possession. Receiving a one-time security code on a device (e.g., phone) is an example of this.
Inference Factor (Inherence/Biometric): This involves something inherent to the user, such as
biometric verification (e.g., facial recognition or fingerprint scanning).
Knowledge Factor: This involves something the user knows, such as login credentials (username and password).
