Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multifactor authentication requires more than two means of authentication such as what the user knows (password), what the user has (security token), and what the user is (biometric verification). This makes it more secure than traditional authentication methods that require only a username and password, or even two-factor authentication that requires only two means of authentication.
