Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The security measures Allen observed involve multiple forms of authentication: something the employee has (a proximity badge), something the employee knows (a 6-digit code), and something the employee is (biometric verification via a fingerprint scanner). This combination of different authentication factors is known as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
