Topic #: 1
Which of the following methods involves requesting a user ' s approval via a push notification to verify the user ' s identity?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

Authenticator apps (e.g., Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, Duo) often support push notifications. When the user logs in, the app sends a push to their mobile device, prompting the user to approve or deny the authentication request - a common and user-friendly form of multi-factor authentication (MFA).
A). Phone call verification is a separate method involving voice-based confirmation.
C). Hardware tokens generate one-time codes but do not send push notifications.
D). SMS sends a text message with a code - again, no push mechanism.
